Those numbers are minuscule compared to coal’s 20%, and yet Armendariz is now on a warpath to destroy the coal industry.

Yup, that means you'll buy natural gas, the major stockholders in the suppliers of which (I am virtually certain) have ponied up to the Sierra Club.

And also to stop the expansion of any additional coal exports from Texas ports [to] overseas.

Apparently the Sierra Club is not just interested in "protecting" Texas and the United States - they want to control the world.

Who are you putzes to control exports?

I wonder if Romney and the GOP remember this :

http://www.nationalreview.com/campaign-spot/294671/under-obama-electricity-rates-are-necessarily-skyrocketing

Barack Obama warned us under his plans, “electricity rates will necessary skyrocket…. Coal-powered plants, natural gas plants, you name it, whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, they would have to retrofit their operations, that will cost money, that they will pass that money on to consumers.”

I wonder what they plan to burn to boil the water to create the steam to run the turbines that create the electricity that charges their Priuses?

So instead of using something that has very few other practical uses, they will use tree, which though a renewable resource, provide food, homes for birds, etc.

For years we’ve been berated by the environmentalists to save a tree, recycle, and now they’re going to burn them all with abandon. We can’t cut down trees for paper. We can’t cut down trees because some birds live there. But we can cut down trees to burn.

If I’m not mistaken, trees are still a carbon product, just as coal and oil are. And the coal and oil we’ll just leave sitting there while we wait for the trees to grow so we can burn them.

Now I understand.

Sabotage of the USA pure and simple. From MOST of our elected officials to the various unbridled alphabet agencies like the EPA it is sabotage.

Our public school systems, thanks to unionized teachers have been for decades sabotaging the minds of children.

Communists professors in our institutions of higher “learning” (indoctrination) are sabotaging our future journalists, lawyers, politicians and giving us a fresh crop of communist teachers for the public schools.

Who do you call to arrest the saboteurs of the country? That’s the nice trick they played on us. NOBODY will arrest them. They control the LEOs and the courts.

The Liberals hate Texas primarily because we have maintained independence in too many ways to be coerced into the collective.

For example, there are three main interconnected electricity grid networks in the continental USA today: Eastern, Western and TEXAS. We are virtually independent of the other two grids. This makes us able to make independent choices. We are not impacted by the self-induced brown-outs and shortages the environmentalists has foisted onto the rest of America. Something Liberal Collectivists hate.

This is why they attack our ability to expand our capacity at every opportunity. Make no mistake, they fight nuclear an natural gas plants, as well as wind farms in Texas as hard as they fight coal. God has chosen to not give us much in the way of hyrdo potential or they would probably fight us there, too... :-)

“Show me the man and I’ll find you the crime.” —Lavrenti Pavlovich Beria, Head of Stalin’s NKVD.

This is the motto for the 0bama administration, the bureaucracies, and the 0bama campaign.

BTW, Beria was taken out by Kruschev during the scramble for power after uncle Joe’s death. This statement exemplifies the logical conclusion for Leftists and Leftism.

What a moron. And a PC correct moron. Turkey was not "Turkey" until the 20th century. It was not even islamic until the 14th century. And then let's talk about islamic terrorism...

What a dope.

EPA’s “philosophy of enforcement,” said EPA’s Region VI Administrator Al Armendariz, is “kind of like how the Romans used to conquer little villages in the Mediterranean: they’d go into little Turkish towns somewhere, they’d find the first five guys they’d run into, and they’d crucify them.”

We are the Saudi Arabia of coal. We've got more coal than just about anybody else.

This is America. We figured out how to put a man on the moon in ten years. You can't tell me we can't figure out how to burn coal, that we mine right here in the United States of America, and make it work. We can do that.
Barrack Obama--- 2008(?)

In the past, hasn't partial or total memory loss been attributed to Syphilis?
