The All of the Above Lie is not the biggest Obama has said, but potentially the best.

One thing I don’t have is sky high electric bills.

I attacked our energy consumption as a project. Our lifestyle is unchanged. Instead of paying $150, $250 and more a month for electricity like my neighbors, my bill runs $35 to $55 per month.

I did not want to give up my hot tub. That took some work but it is now completely solar powered, including the circulating pump.

My amortization goal was one year to payback on investment. I met that goal. I did not spend tens of thousands of dollars to get this all done.

but also wind and solar

Solar? Like when the Neanderthal was cold and enjoyed the radiant energy of the sun to keep warm? How "progressive". Wind? Like only a measly 200 years ago when the world's measure of might depended on the count of tall masted ships and nimble "clipper ships"? How "progressive". Obviously, Obamugabe wants us to start living in caves and commuting to work by canoe. How "progressive".

He *did* warn us.He said in ‘08 that he intended to bankrupt the coal industry.Funny that he'd say that given that we have something like a 300 year supply.Why,one would think that he wants this country to revert to the 1600’s or something.

Where are the Americans who nearly revolted over $1.50 to $3.00 ATM charges? All of a sudden they don't care about $4.00 a gallon gasoline?

Remember the brown outs in California? Yet we are doing NOTHING about Obama’s WAR ON COAL? (WAR ON ENERGY might be better). Oh I forgot, “Green Energy” must have solved that problem.

We can't mine, we can't drill, we can't Frack, we can't permit nuclear.

We MUST, build windmills, put up acres of solar panels, grow algae, take Spinach and Corn out of the mouths of starving people, and spend BILLIONS (if not Trillions) subsidizing these loser industries.

One would hope that the energy companies that are currently being forced to shut down their coal plants are wise enough to simply “put them on ice” for the time being, with the intent that they could be restarted on short notice.

One of the first agendas that conservatives and Congress must “push” Romney towards after the inauguration will be to IMMEDIATELY REVERSE any and all of the executive orders and “environmental regulations” of the previous four years, and get energy production moving again (i.e., development of resources and energy generation from those resources).

This will be one of the first “tests” he must face, insofar as whether he intends to govern with the interests of the nation in mind — or just be more “business as usual”, which, in this case, means leave all the nonsense of the previous administration in place....

Chesapeake Energy (gas) gave the Sierra Club $25 million dollars to lobby against coal fired power plants.

That was before fracking became an issue.
