Zero sympathy as a consumer. I get a much better deal using natural gas.

Some people don’t have a choice as there are not a lot of gas-fired plants in the Northeast. Electricity from coal is still cheaper to produce than with natural gas.

Just give the EPA time and they will drive the cost of Nat Gas up too and/or make it scarce.

It is what they do.

First they came for the coal users and I spoke in favor of screwing them because I used gas...

As consumers, we get no choice in the source of the electricity that comes into our comes. If we did, I'd chose coal. It's much cheaper to produce each MW with coal than natural gas. But natural gas is 2nd. All the 'renewable' energy sources cost double or triple that per MW than NG. (I used the quotes because geothermal sources are depleted as they use them.)
