In another clip from the same January 2008 interview with the San Francisco Chronicle in which Barack Obama promised to bankrupt anyone foolish enough to build coal-burning power plants, he also made an interesting admission about his entire energy plan. Obama told the editors that his policies would make energy prices “skyrocket” as the energy industry passed along the exorbitant costs of his cap-and-trade policy:
Energy prices skyrocketing will leave the economy in tatters, as we saw earlier this year. While no one doubts the need to start transitioning to better sources of energy, the manner in which that gets done means the difference of whether it gets done at all....
I think this is a devastating issue to Obama in the swing states of PA, WV, OH, and NV. This ties together Obama's energy, big government, enviro extremism, command ecomomy, and callousness to the middle class into one ribbon-tied November Surprise.
Admin, would you please clean up the title here? Some html got through somehow. Thanks.
This is the link we sent around to friends yesterday. It mentions the coal, but more specifically mentions electricity and natural gas costs skyrocketing, which affects everyone, everywhere.
America’s greatest energy resource is coal and is the best of all ways to keep from buying oil from our enemies.
This is truly destroying our economy, throwing many thousands out of jobs, and causing us to be even more dependent upon others.
