The slowest economic recovery in modern American history is a direct result of Obama’s policies. .. It’s not just spending that would make the drunken sailor blush that has sapped the strength of the economic recovery. It is also every other important policy aspect of the Obama reign. – American Spectator

Krugman’s recent blog post on the EPA’s decision to regulate mercury emissions from power plants was so factually mistaken and incredibly misleading that it was surprising even by his standards. In the present post I’ll clarify the depth of the chasm between Krugman’s comments and reality.

By advancing President Obama’s goal of shutting down power plants and raising electricity costs, it impairs job creation, economic recovery, and public health and welfare. It is intrusive government at its worst. Illinois families and businesses will pay 40-60% more.

Congress and Obama fight over a twenty dollar payroll tax cut while Obama drives up your electric bill and the cost of everything you buy. Every product and service requires energy. If energy rates are driven up by Obama’s green fantasy regulations (without congressional input) then the cost of every product and service goes up. Obama knows this but he doesn’t care. The hoopla over the payroll tax cut is a distraction from Obama driving up energy costs. LG&E recently […]

Obama talks jobs and his passion for the “middle class” out of one side of his mouth while out of the other side he crushes the energy industry and drives up energy costs which drives up the cost of everything. The poor and the middle class are hit hardest in a stagnant economy by higher electric bills. But remember Obama promised that under his plan “electricity rates would necessarily have to skyrocket.”

The US is the Saudi Arabia of gas. Gas is 4.5 cents per kw compared to 15 to 5o cents for solar. So why are we wasting billions of taxpayer dollars on solar?

America has been under attack since Barack Obama took the oath of office on January 20, 2009. The primary target has been the nation’s ability to generate energy for electricity and transportation, without which this nation will slide into Third World status and economic decline.

It’s called the Cross-State Pollution Rule, announced last month, and its implementation over the next 18 months will likely result in the loss of a fifth of the nation’s electricity-generating capacity. The result will be likely power shortages, skyrocketing rates and inevitable brownouts and rolling blackouts.
