“People at FR will blame it on the “union scum”
Not true. Obama will be rightfully blamed here.”

No he won’t.

When electricity prices zoom up, the media will “point the finger” at the “greedy”, “evil”, “environment-destroying” utility companies.

And the public will blame them, too.

Hopefully these regulations (and a whole lot more) will be rolled back during the “Palin restoration” which begins in January 2013....

Just wishin’....

Now I see why you advised only a couple of minutes. Those round-mouthed, genocidal abominations are sickening and retarded in their regards to technologies.

Solar is over-tax benefited in Oregon.

Depending on how smart the person is setting it up - the tax credit is close to 100% of cost.

No one spending his own money woul dput solar in Oregon.

Next time someoen says that - ask how they are measuring the output of the panels. It probably has the CAPACITY to meet the needs of the chold center. But delivery is not capacity.

We MUST destroy obama in 2012. We MUST. Make a list of ALL obama’s attacks against We The People and this country, and hand a copy of them out via door to door in your neighborhood. Educate the public, your neighborhood, with facts. Work with the voting precincts, make sure people get out and vote. Offer to transport those who need the assistance, pound the pavement and use all methods of communication to get the word out to people. Make sure you join forces with like minded people and devote all your energies in any and all ways possible to destroy this vile enemy obama. It is not too much to say that we MUST devote our waking hours to the destruction of this enemy, or WE and our country will perish under socialism.

This is our Pearl Harbor, our World War II. We are under attack ON OUR SHORES BY THE LEFTIST GOVERNMENT IN POWER. We are Americans and we do NOT take crap from socialists/marxists/communists/revolutionaries. As our forefathers fought, as our troops have fought and died for our freedom, we must also fight for our country, with everything we've got. WE ARE AMERICANS!

Stop making excuses and thinking of all the reasons why we as a people should not/can not fight this socialist government in power here in the USA. Give this fight your all. Or die trying.

"In a plant upgrade EVERY part of the plant would have to be compliant ,, not just meet standards “on average”."

A change from coal to natural gas automatically "upgrades" the whole plant into compliance, because all the "polluting" emissions are eliminated up front. No mercury, no arsenic, no radiation, no high sulfur. The only remaining "emissions" are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and a very small amount of oxides of nitrogen. What else to you think needs to be "upgraded"??? The boiler?? The steam turbine??

In fact, at the rate things are going Obama faces the same problems that eventually did in James Earl Carter in 1980: 1) a failing economy and 2) an opponent that was charismatic on-air and drove the MSM nuts (I really do foresee one Sarah Palin becoming the Republican nominee because “she’s the real deal” and is highly charismatic in public appearances).

Only much, much more so. Not only will Obummer lose the "Reagan democrats", he is also losing what was a significant part of his base in his first election...the "youth" voter and the woman voter.

No he won’t.

If you will note that I said Obama would be blamed "here" as in on FR.

You are right about Obama getting a pass elsewhere.

But Obama is already being rightfully blamed here and it will continue.

When I hear stories about even Vladimir Putin and Hu Jintao openly shaking their head at what Obama is doing economically, Obama could be in for a beating in 2012 somewhere between when 1980 and 1984 elections in terms of a landslide loss.

Indeed, both China and Russia are increasingly aggressive in putting use to their domestic energy resources. Indeed, Russia right now is looking at potentially gigantic crude oil deposits in northeastern Siberia, and China is trying to find new uses for its very large coal reserves (someone mentioned that China is aggressively building coal-to-oil plants using the technology developed by SASOL of South Africa during the apartheid era). Meanwhile, Obama is too beholden to the environmental extremist crowd, much to detriment of everyone else.

And to those who have done it, off grid means propane. Self sufficient as long as the propane truck stops by.

IOW, a petroleum/natural gas product, and one of the things Barack Obama stated he is planning to cap.
