Once again sticking it to the middle and lower class. Who will be paying for all this in the end. We all know but swooners don't care even though it's their children who will suffer. I wonder if China, the worlds number one polluter, is announcing the same garbage to destroy their economy? They aren't as stupid as Obama and his underlings.
"For months, environmentalists have been pressing the White House to regulate utilities powered by coal and natural gas, which account for a third of the nation’s greenhouse-gas emissions and 40 percent of its carbon output. Last year the Environmental Protection Agency proposed regulating greenhouse-gas emissions from new power plants, but it has delayed finalizing that rule.
According to individuals familiar with the White House plan, who asked not to be identified since the president has yet to deliver his speech, Obama will couch the effort not only in terms of the nation’s domestic priorities, but as a way to meet the administration’s international pledge to reduce the country’s greenhouse-gas emissions 17 percent below 2005 levels. According to an independent analysis by the World Resources Institute, the United States will need to regulate existing power plants and take other steps as well to meet that goal.
In Saturday’s statement, Obama emphasized the economic opportunities that could come from tackling carbon emissions.
“We’ll need scientists to design new fuels, and farmers to grow them,” he said. “We’ll need engineers to devise new sources of energy, and businesses to make and sell them.”"
Translation......... we need another stimulus so I can fund my green buddies crap companies with taxpayer money so when they fail my buddies will be able to steal whats left and move on.
Good for Obama! New studies have shown that autism is directly related to pollution, and coal-fired power plants are the worst. From releasing arsenic and mercury into the water supply, to black lung disease, coal is an abomination.

Good for you, a little comic relief makes for a better day for all of us.. Love your humor...
Really? People don't believe that cimate change is occurring? They don't believe that limiting pollution is a good thing. I know there has been some doubt as to the source or reason for climate change, but only a total nutbag denies it all together.

So the US will go back to stone age while we watch the other emerging countries continue their journey in industrialization.
