As hated and beat down by the left and not allowed to build new plants in 40 years as the Nuclear industry is, it still produces more power than the little green men.

Nukes should be 60 to 70 percent or more of our electric production. It would be cheap if we got the endless leftist legal attacks from the court to the EPA and the NRC out of the way. It is clean and safe when not put on a quake fault line in a tsunami rich area, or built out of graphite with all the safety features disabled.

I like nukes.

That would be priceless, or the Times could pay to heat their builing and allow everyone who can’t afford heat to come on in. (like that would ever happen)

That they worship ALGORE says it all. Heck, I should stand up on a platform, shout “Green Engery”, “Solar Engery”, etc. I then would be considered an expert and command large speaking fees.

"Wouldn't that incentivize Liberal New Englanders and Pacific Northwesterners to relocate South ... into Red states?"

Yes. I would say so. Liberals will move when they no longer can stand their own stench. It's a given . . . don't you think?

Take heed.

But in anticipation of his administration’s plans to regulate the heck of out both new and existing power plants, at least several coal plant have already announced forthcoming shutdowns...

They will probably mothball the plants for new administration.

Creepy Crackerland...sounds like a theme park. Think it could get away with being whites only?

Just kidding...

[Pining_4_TX]

Ha, ha, you could be right. They seem to think government can wave its magic wand and defy the laws of physics. All they have to do is command, and it will be done.

They will also blame “big oil” for fixing prices and standing in the way of the grand green energy plan of Dear Leader.

All these nutterbutters plugging in their subsidized hybrids eating their soy burgers, where the hell do they think the power comes from?!?!

“from the socket”

[listenhillary]

Germany has managed to get their KWH cost up to $.34. Now they are likely subsidizing the poor so they don't freeze to death in the winter.

We will have our own "Affordable energy subsidy" plan soon if we continue. We can't have people that slip through and aren't yet dependent on the government now can we?
