Well, as we move further into the gelded age of glory, unicorns, subsidies and obamaworship, we get news that the EPA is considering the regulation of carbon dioxide: E.P.A. Expected to Regulate Carbon Dioxide
"The Environmental Protection Agency is expected to act for the first time to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that scientists blame for the warming of the planet, according to top Obama administration officials. The decision, which most likely would play out in stages over a period of months, would have a profound impact on transportation, manufacturing costs and how utilities generate power"
Translation: we're going to tax folks who burn coal for power based on how much CO2 they emit.
Depending on how this is done, it could cost Wyandotte ratepayers millions of additional dollars a year. Dollars that the utility does not have. If rates are forced much higher, we could become less competitive and have to shut down the plant and buy power from other sources. It could wreck the business case for our utility. And building windmills will not solve this problem.
Oh, and CO2 regulation might impair another local industry on which we all depend: cars
Aren't you dumbocrats glad you voted for Obama now? It will be sooooo fun sitting around in the cold and dark, unemployed, waiting for the next shipment of government cheese.
Hopenchange!
And how are we going to get the voters to realize this CHANGE is coming and it's going to be very costly to all of us.
2010 can't come too soon. The Republican's need a new star...not one in the Bob Dole, John McCain mold....Maybe Eric Cantor of Va. can be our guy to carry the laod and derail this Marxist train wreck.
