What you're saying is we have yet to see the negative effects of Obama’s energy policies. In the future we will have rolling blackouts and other energy catastrophes. The Obama administration is trying to turn America into a backward, third world dictatorship.

Yes, that is what I'm saying, and I'll add in future oil shortages due to 0bama's shutting down of all gulf drilling.

All I said was that the title of the article "Obama’s Blocking of New Power Plants Triggers Nationwide Blackouts" couldn't possibly be factual because if he banned all construction of new power plants in his inagural speech, it still wouldn't have affected the amount of electricity available this week during Texas' rolling blackouts, because a power plant started on inaguration day wouldn't have been built in time to prevent this week's blackouts.

I didn't think that was such a complicated concept to get across. There is enough evil coming out of the 0bama administration that we don't need to make stuff up.

“if he banned all construction of new power plants in his inagural speech”

Actually the Democrats started banning all construction of power plants in the U.S. right after the 2008 election before Obama had even been inaugurated. Read the article at the link and understand how bad things are.

The Obama administration has also worked to shut down existing power plants.

The one disagreement I have with you is that Obama's supporters, the Democrats and the environmentalists have been working to reduce the amount of fossil fuel power plants long before Obama became president. The replacement of reliable coal and natural gas fired generation with totally unreliable wind energy is responsible for the capacity problems in Texas and the Southwest.
