That will cost money…they will pass that money on to the consumers. You can already see what the arguments are going to be during the general election. People will say Obama and Al Gore …these folks...they're going to destroy the economy.
This is going to cost us 8 trillion dollars or whatever their number is. If you can’t persuade the American people that, yes, there is going to be some increase on electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long term, because of combinations of more efficient energy usage and changing light bulbs and more efficient appliances, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy that the economy will benefit. "
Thus saith President Zero.
which is busy staffing its NYC office with high paid liberal activists and lobbyists getting rich on money extorted from OUR utility companies in “carbon auctions”
NO WAY anyone’s electric bills will cost less with these new business operating burdens and regulations ((new taxes) imposed global warming ideologues (who are untouchable via the voting booth, btw)
yet another lie
I’m starting to think Obama’s plan is more nefarious in an outright attempt to bankrupt us completely so we will be prime for Communism or Islam. One of the two.
Increase security at 90 ports. Ending the WOT by shutting down Gitmo, ending rendition, ending waterboarding.
Why bother with increasing security at 90 ports???
More power lines? Like saying more wheels on my truck saves on gas money... Yet another pork bridge to nowhere. He is no President, he still is a Senate stooge.
That is not only absolute garbage, but one of the biggest and most outright lies that I have ever heard since the National Socialist Workers Party told the Jews that they were going to be “relocated.”
I'm pretty sure that most people will believe this until they actually get an electric bill.
Then the MSM and the DNC will blame us for everything.
The sheep will fall in line.
What I'd like to know is since when is it the Federal Gubmint's responsibility to add anything to the privately owned electrical grid?
Sounds like the Obamaloon. Cost are gonna go up. Costs are gonna go down. Etc. Typical lib. Math is not their friend.
This boondoggle is about awarding very big contracts to big donors to Democrats.
There is no way on Earth to build 3,000 miles of power lines within three years. It won't happen.
If you’re, only, going to get power for 25% of the time, I would hope power bills would go down.
This title makes sense considering that we’ll all be going back to candles soon when the Obamaconomy kicks in full force.
Wichita Lineman.
I’m beginning to fear that Obama is mentally ill.
Alternative energy, no matter what form will raise electric rates!
He’s a fool, liar, and an idiot!
Bullsh!t. Three thousand miles is less than once across America. The real life distribution grid is up and down streets and alleys, across mountain ranges, down country roads with laterals up canyons and across farm fields. Three thousand miles is like spit on a hot sidewalk. It will disappear while you are looking.
Doubling renewable energy capacity in three years ain't gonna happen. It is amazing how the pinhead class thinks that by virtue of an election they are now adequately educated to pontificate on anything and everything. Renewable energy, overall, requires subsidies to keep producers afloat. Eventually the law of diminishing returns catches up to you. Why spend $10 to get $5 worth of energy?
Less than a week of listening to the charlatan, and my head is already to explode.
Let’s review.
We are going to install generation that costs twice as much as conventional technology. We are going to double the installed base from 2% of our power to maybe 4%.
That new generation capacity is highly dispersed across the landscape. To get the power to the market will require massive investment in thousands of miles of new transmission line capacity that is not required with conventional power sources.
And this is going to lower our energy prices. Only a lawyer communist with zero economics or engineering training would believe that. This approach is as likely to lower power prices as having magical unicorns running endlessly on treadmills.
Obama could power the new plants with all of Planned Parenthood’s aborted babies. There’s a renewable resource readily available.
Of course, the government doesn't want either - they want what brings the biggest return from their own private investments. Pelosi's heavily invested in T. Boone Picken's outfit. I'd like to see some of the other Senator's investments.
Supposedly his energy plans would save the average household 350.00 a year.... I’ll just pay the extra thirty bucks a month,thanks anyway.
