…thanks to the Obama junta’s “War on Coal.”

quote:
“The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural gas – was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt.”

Taxcutter says:
Minor nit-pick: the unit of electricity is megawatt-hour.
Just who do you think is gonna pay eight times as much for electricity?
You are.

Quote:
“The Senate will have a critical opportunity to do just that when it votes on stopping Obama’s most expensive anti-coal regulation sometime in the next couple of weeks. The vote is on the Inhofe Resolution, S.J. Res 37, to overturn the so-called Utility MACT rule, which the EPA itself acknowledges is its most expensive rule ever.”

Taxcutter says:
Obama is merely keeping his campaign promise.

Soon enough we will revert back to candles with these morons in office.

Barky promised us it would get more expensive. It's the result of his under the radar regulations that impose more burdens and costs on business. The man is in a war against fossil fuels. This is an example of how he's harming the country and expanding govt.

When are people gonna get it that he doesn't care about us, just his ideology and himself.

Well, if Obama has it's way will coal, your really going to see prices rise with electricity.

The electric company here already wants us to pay more to help finance those who want to buy solar.

Anybopdy think a sharp rise in the cost of electricity will do anything positive for US jobs?

No liberals care to defend the idea of quintupled electric bills?

We've been here before. US companies have been made aware of upcoming regulations, they failed to update their power stations and are now throwing the toys out of the pram.

I used to work on a BOS Plant (steel making), the process makes huge amounts of polution in dust form. The BOS plant was actually designed to have a natural uplift of air, sucking all the polutants out into the local air. New regulations forced them to seal the building and use a dust extraction system. It was amazing to see the physical volume of (*)(*)(*)(*) we were pumping out.

Bottom line: Industry needs to quit whinging and clean up it's act.

When necessity expenditures devour discretionary / disposable income earned by the poor and middle class...
two things happen...

1) that rerouted discretionary / disposable income is no longer available for small businesses...which harms capitalism and increases unemployment...

and...

2) the poor, middle class, and newly unemployed will be forced to look to government to subsidize their existence...
massively expanding permanent government dependency...
and overwhelming the private sector / capitalism's ability to fund it all....ultimately ushering in an economic death spiral only "solvable" through state ownership of means of production.

This, in a nutshell, is why progressive leftists/Marxists/communists/socialists....collectivists... . gravitate towards environmental "causes".

^^^^the dirty little secret collectivist elites obfuscate from their dull-eyed, mouth breathing, easily manipulated constituency....cloaking their insidious frog boiling in "Earth Days" and "Saving Mother Gaia"
