If I were God of the world, I would force ALL coal fired electric plants in the USA to close immediately. Then I would sit back and watch all these EPA/greenie/environmental assholes complain about the brownouts and rising cost of electricity. After a couple of months I would force all nuclear plants to shut down and enjoy my popcorn. A couple of months later ditto with the gas powered plants. And when the bitching got real bad I would say, live with your stupid wind turbine farms and solar panels. You got what you wanted. END OF DISCUSSION.

And if you say why punish those who are not greenies or environmentalists, I would say, they have voted in the idiots running DC and its minions again and again. You wanted it, you got it.

I doubt that these idiots could follow the dots & even understand their consequences. My answer is get the war on & drive them in the ocean. Then we will have all of the energy we want.
