This president and his party are in bed with the radical eco movement and until they open up Alaska and many other places NOW the 9% is peanuts compared to what this country has in reserve. How much do these coal firing plants "belching out with all of the strict regulations that now govern them? When he says he will bankrupt them I believe he means it. Solar and wind are not viable and I have been watching that industry for over 35 years and it will not replace oil, nuclear or natural gas for years to come if ever. Meanwhile the economy continues to go into the tank. Looks like NObama wants to bankrupt the rest of us too. Cap and trade is a big a fraudulent scheme as is the CO2 greenhouse gas fraud is. Higher taxes, more greedy govt. spending on itself (all done, of course, in the name of helping people and the "Children")

Baloney,

AKL

ps Goldman & Sachs, a big rich wall st. firm in bed with the democrats, just declared that pump prices wouldn't fall just because cost of a barrel is now going down. Claim the demand has led to a short supply. This is BS of the first magnitude! With demand dropping off and a glut of oil we now know where the speculators who are driving this obscene price increase are coming from. That along with the FED driving down the value of the dollar. Hmmm???




and finally, you said that president obama said he "would bankrupt coal companies." this is also false. he did not say that. what he said (as candidate obama) was that he wanted to implement a cap-and-trade system where each energy producer was given a certain allowance of pollution that could be emitted. if they did not emit that much pollution, they could sell their left over "credits" to another company that produced more pollution than would be allowed under law. (by the way, this is what texas does, and the company i worked for made millions selling their left-over "credits"). he said that if a coal company wanted to belch out tons of pollution, they could, but it would bankrupt them. they would need to clean up their act...

candidate obama's quote:
"So if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can; it's just that it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."[/QUOTE]
