I really believe Obama wants to lose the election.

I love the libtards response.
Less coal plants (i.e. less access to electricity) will improve your health.

The first place that should have it’s electricity shut off
is DC. We all know there is no light on in Obama, Reid, and
Pelosi’s heads already.

Obama is doing everything that he can to hold back, control, hamper, regulate and steal from businesses and those who start, own and run them. Ergo he is doing everything he can to destroy the economy. One can speculate as to why. But he is.
But we all know that it is the Republicans who are deliberately stalling the recovery.

Less coal plants (i.e. less access to electricity) will improve your health.Except for all the broken bones, knee scrapes, minor impalements and concussions from stumbling around in the dark.
But a few people will be healthier. If they don't suck in all of the candle soot.

The people in PA should vote for Obama again. They loved him last time—even when he said he would bankrupt coal based industries.

Intentionally reducing the supply of energy... I never could understand why they call themselves “progressives”. Like everything else libtard, nothing but a lie.

I think Obama has internal poll numbers that show him with no chance of winning reelection so he is going all out on his job killing, economic destroying policies.

Sure, raise electric costs when we are on the verge of a recession and unemployment is close to 10%...that is real smart.

Life without energy is cruel and short. Do we really want to go back to the 19th century?

I think he’ll fake some national emergency and do away with the election. That’s how little I trust this goon’s and his Marxist mob’s intent.

Technology of the early 18th century with the morality and culture of the 21st. Heaven help us.
To: woofer
Right...
1812 - Zero Coal Pants - Life Expectancy = 58.
200 years later...
2012 - 600+ Coal Plants - Life Expectancy = 78.
Those coal plants are killing us /s

CRS notes that many of the plants most affected by the new EPA rules were facing extinction anyway: Many of these plants are inefficient and are being replaced by more efficient combined cycle natural gas plants, a development likely to be encouraged if the price of competing fuelnatural gascontinues to be low, almost regardless of EPA rules. Perhaps, but it's one thing to fully depreciate a plant over, say, 50 years and plan for its replacement. It's quite another to have one lose its asset value overnight. In that case, the capital simply won't exist to replace it.
But liberals figure that the Fed can just print up some capital. No prob.
