The end of cheap electricity.

[Cruiser]

And Obama does it again!

“This is three days after the EPA issued a regulation — which was overlooked in all the Supreme Court stuff about Obamacare — issued a regulation which means the end of any new coal-fired plant in America, ever. It’s the end of the coal industry in time as the old plants age — millions out of work, the coal industry shutdown and in time, raising electricity rates and really destroying a great natural resource America has,” he said.

What is not mentioned here is that part of the rationale is the availability of natural gas to use as a fuel. What is also not mentioned is that EPA plans regs for later this year that will restrict drilling for natural gas.

Now, what part of this is firearms related?

It takes electricity to power the plants to make the guns. (it worked on the time change one)

Since the coal industry will be shutdown there will be no more coke to make steel to make guns .

More here, a promise that Obama kept. So now we will be exporting coal so other countries can continue to pollut and burn coal! I am getting real sick of what Obama is doing to our country.

Enviro-Whack jobs are celebrating the demise of America‘s most abundant energy resource, coal. Because coal has just been given the death sentence by Obama and the EPA.

"If old King Coal isn't dead already, he's certainly teetering toward life support," said Frank O'Donnell, president Clean Air Watch in Washington.

In the end, all of it. I hope I don't live to see that day.

This is kind of old news. I know First energy announced several months ago it was shutting down one of its plants (I think in Ohio) because it was too costly to upgrade to meet new EPA requirements.

So Obama and the .gov are doing to coal powerplants that they want to do to guns. Dont ban them, just regulate the snot out of them till there is nothing left.

And see, there really is a gun related connection to everything.

FirstEnergy Corp. on Thursday announced it is retiring six coal-fired power plants, including four in Ohio, because of stricter federal anti-pollution rules.

The six older and dirtier plants will be closed by Sept. 1.

“It was a tough decision,” said Charles D. Lasky, vice president of fossil fleet operations for FirstEnergy Generation Corp.

The announcement makes FirstEnergy one of the first American utilities to close aging, polluting power plants in the wake of tighter federal clean-air rules finalized last month. Closings at other utilities are expected in the coming weeks.

The same way he does most other things: ignore the constitution.

[stringygerm]

The EPA has approved two (I think) permits to construct new nuclear power plants and there are at least 26 other applications in the process.

Ignorant me wants to know how does Oslammer do this with out Congress ?

A couple of years ago, the Supreme Court gave the EPA authority to control CO2. When Congress refused to pass Obama's expensive environmental package, he told the EPA to do it without Congress. Next, they will be regulating trees because they create too much CO2 during the day and the O2 they give off at night contributes to ozone.
