This effort to make energy less available, less reliable, and more expensive is at a level of societal insanity comparable to that which overwhelmed the Xhosa in 1856 when the prophetess of doom, Nongqawuse, convinced them that salvation lay in destroying all their cattle and crops. It will not turn out well.
Turning our backs on cheap, plentiful energy from any source is just as bad a move.
The “war on coal” is part of of the larger plan to “fundamentally transform America.” That plan is to turn America into a communist state where one party has exclusive and perpetual political power. To do that, the economically independent conservative base of the Republican party must be converted to reliable dependent democrats. A look at the voting patterns of the United States down to the precinct level (a look that democrats like David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett have taken), shows that the largest concentrations of economically independent conservatives are in the suburbs.
In order to herd them into the cities and make them reliable democrats, suburban living must be destroyed. Suburban living depends on two things: good paying jobs and cheap energy. Take them away, and the suburbs disappear. Every policy of this administration makes sense when you consider it serves the purpose of eliminating the abundance of good paying jobs or cheap energy. The war on coal is one tactic in that larger strategy.
As a larger strategy, the communists rarely come up with something you haven’t seen in their playbook before. American conservatives are Kulaks. The communists are breaking them, and herding them into the Kolkhoz.
This is really a sick situation!
If our side played the way the dems/libs/commies do, we would DEMAND they go without the resources of coal and oil, to make their actions match their words.
I can see it vividly, the left would be ALL over this IF it were reversed.
It’s stunning how ignorant the greenies are.
