“EPA Regulations Will Close Coal Plants, Raise Electricity Prices, GAO Says”

And?  Obama promised to do just that. Necessarily.

Look:  I understand that many of us are so cynical about politics these days that we’re stunned when politicians carry through on what they say they’re going to do.    We recognize that America is different now — that most of our goods are manufactured in China, and that most of our political candidates are manufactured in focus groups.  But when what they say they are going to do is to be done in the service of a lifelong ideological mission they’ve groomed themselves to carry out, regardless of the disguises they’ve had to wear and the lies they’ve had to tell to get the opportunity, they tend to go for it.

They’re kind of like terrorists that way:  we should take them at their word.

After all, they have fathers (and various other mentors) who had dreams.

    Not only will prices go up, but the constant supply of electricity we’ve become used to will be a thing of the past.

    Forward!

  2. Car in says:

    Promise kept!

    What’s the problem?

  3. missfixit says:

    I work in the electric utility industry (perhaps not for much longer)

    the next step is for the government to take over the utilities. Just watch what that will do.

  4. Libby says:

    Like Obama telling “Joe the Plumber” he intended to spread the wealth around? Or like Iran repeatedly telling us they will wipe Israel off the map?

  5. eCurmudgeon says:

    Dammit, where’s my Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor?

  6. William says:

    We are perhaps the first nation that so thoroughly, obviously deserves our doom.

    But I’m more than happy to keep fighting for American values. Especially if my greatest risk in doing so is never being invited onto “The View.”

  7. @PurpAv says:

    Obama is a sociopathic pathological liar. The only exception is when he promises to hurt you. That you can take to the bank.

  8. palaeomerus says:

    Joe Biden: “I can tell you, and I’ve known eight presidents, three of them intimately…”

    Is Joe Biden trying to be the new Harry Caray? Only not on purpose?

    “….But then again, some times the durty environmental destroyers win one.”

    – And just so we don’t run the risk of having a barren thread with no mention of a good devisive word: “Achin”

    – Drop your smocks and grab your socks, because lets face it, we just can’t have all those faithful protesters getting wet and such now can we. The Reps may be in for two weeks in a row of stormy weather.

    – More fun with the EPA coloring boos (all 64 crayons are shades of green).

    – This little piggie went to market and sort of lost the rent money.

    – This little piggie cried wee wee wee, all the way home.

  11. Squid says:

    I think this might be the first GAO report that actually backs up the President on his rhetoric. That’s a historic first!
