Interior Secretary wants blindly faithful warmists only in her department. Question the green god’s dogma and its hit the road Jack. We warned about Obama’s nominee’s continuing his radical ideological “green” push to raise energy costs.

Remember this is a president who said “under my plan electricity rates will necessarily skyrocket.” Obama seems to be doing everything he can to increase energy costs. Higher energy costs means fewer jobs. More ….

The economy stagnates. Syria burns. Scandals lap at his feet. China and Russia mock him, even as a “29-year-old hacker” revealed his nation’s spy secrets to the world. [ … tens of thousands of jobs killed, entire states impoverished. This at a time of chronically and crushingly high unemployment, slow growth, jittery markets and deep economic uncertainty.] How does President Obama respond? With a grandiloquent speech on climate change. – Charles Krauthammer

“White House is hesitant to say they’re having a war on coal. On the other hand, a war on coal is exactly what’s needed.” – Daniel P. Schrag, a White House climate adviser – Weekly Standard

“Any politician who bleats about high electricity prices needs to look no further than the stupid energy policies that are causing most of them. We do not have an energy crisis – we have an energy policy crisis.”

His cap and trade carbon tax plan didn’t pass congress even when Democrats controlled both houses. Doesn’t matter to king Obama. He is using the EPA to kill the coal industry and force up electricity rates by 15 to 20%. All for the mythical and disproved claim that that human energy use is causing the planet to warm.

The EPA regulators are winning the war on coal and most Americans are going to suffer, including the clueless greens.

Political force-feeding of wind and solar energy does more harm to the natural environment than coal, affects the local climate, hits consumers with unnecessary costs and threatens industry with power failures.

Obama promised to make electricity rates “skyrocket” in 2008. He has kept that promise. The result is the destruction of an entire industry that provides thousands of jobs and cheap electricity. This is just one of many job killing policies of Obama’s jobs focus. Can we afford four more years of economic suicide?

As coal use drops, job losses rise and electricity prices skyrocket, an electoral map of the 16 top coal-mining states does not bode well for an administration whose energy policy consists of algae and exploding electric cars. – IBD
