So What Does Energy Look Like Under Husein

Immediately following the election, President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency plans a spate of new anti-coal regulation that will virtually grind the industry to a standstill. According to the Washington Examiner:
To the libs....
I'm curious, while the rest of us pay out the ass for energy and the left gives subsidies to those that claim poverty, which is how socialists work.
Will this play a part in how you might vote in the Mid Term elections in two years?

President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency has devoted an unprecedented number of bureaucrats to finalizing new anti-coal regulations that are set to be released at the end of November, according to a source inside the EPA.
More than 50 EPA staff are now crashing to finish greenhouse gas emission standards that would essentially ban all construction of new coal-fired power plants. Never before have so many EPA resources been devoted to a single regulation. The independent and non-partisan Manhattan Institute estimates that the EPA's greenhouse gas coal regulation will cost the U.S. economy $700 billion.

    Titled "A Look Ahead to EPA Regulations for 2013: Numerous Obama EPA Rules Placed on Hold Until After the Election Spell Doom For Jobs and Economic Growth", it lists and describes new rules concocted over the past year ranging from additional restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions, tougher water guidelines and tightening of the ozone standard. Taken together, they will further drive up pump prices, impose construction bans on local communities, and cripple oil, natural gas and coal production.
As the Washington Post notes, the report puts a spotlight back on the Obama EPA which has earned a "reputation for Abuse", serving as a stark reminder that "President Obama has presided over a green team administration that works every day to "crucify" oil and gas companies and make sure that "...if you want to build a coal plant you got a big problem."

I will still vote for the most conservative Republican available. There is no other choice.

Same here, but I'm wondering how the libs will feel once they see their bills increase across the board, from food, gas, electricity to everything else.

Barack Obama may consider introducing a tax on carbon emissions to help cut the U.S. budget deficit after winning a second term as president, according to HSBC Holdings Plc.

A tax starting at $20 a metric ton of carbon dioxide equivalent and rising at about 6 percent a year could raise $154 billion by 2021, Nick Robins, an analyst at the bank in London, said today in an e-mailed research note, citing Congressional Research Service estimates. "Applied to the Congressional Budget Office's 2012 baseline, this would halve the fiscal deficit by 2022," Robins said.

Good news. It is important to slowly wean ourselves off coal/oil towards renewable energy.

Yawn

WHY? We have an abundant supply able to last centuries.  Why should your electric bill rise 300% or more for your leftist CO2 mythology?

That's a good piece, but I don't know if it reflects the attitude of US News and World Report. I had subscribed to them for years, but quit when they embraced the leftist agenda.

Solar, that link didn't seem to mention many things the EPA has done, nor could I find much elsewhere on the internet. It seems just to be predicting what Obama may do in the future.

Although, I did find this news article about Obama and energy.Stating that American drilling for oil has increased in the last 4 years. Even Mitt said so !


"The facts show, and President Barack Obama and his Republican challenger Mitt Romney agree, that U.S. production of oil and gas has increased over the past four years."

http://edition.cnn.com/2012/10/04/politics/fact-check-oil-gas/index.html

Although Romney obviously said it wasn't because of Obama's policies.
"Christians are expected to pacify angry Muslims, Communist brats and homosexual radicals and Mexicans who convinced themselves that they own our land. That tells me the Christians are the better people among brutal and violent beasts."  Yawn - 15th May, 2013

To be honest, it's more of a compilation of several sites, I just chose this one because they had a bit more to say on the subject.
What is more important, is the agenda exposed, his plan to balance the budget on the backs of the American taxpayer.
I expect to see energy literally triple in this country, if not quadruple...

Consider this, if we pay 3, 5 7 times more for energy, green energy will suddenly look appealing.
Do you see a plan fomenting?

You may be speaking to one of those people who believes energy is produced by the outlet on the wall. You know, one of those people who wants everyone to drive an electric car, but who doesn't want any new power plants built.

$154 billion over 9 years?
