How could anyone think they could run for statewide office in a coal-based state and vote to thrust onto existing coal plants unrealistic demands which costs will be passed onto electricity customers?
This Cap and Trade emissions cut was Barack Obama's plan prior to election. Obama warned us as captured on this video back in January 2008 that his Cap and Trade plan would cause electricity rates to necessarily skyrocket.
Our only hope right now is that there appears not to be enough Democratic or Benedict-Arnold GOP votes in the U.S. Senate to pass Obama's Cap and Trade plan this year.
