Since we're talking enery, or lack of it, added to our miseries will soon be the shutdown of 1/5th of all coal fired electrical generating plants within the US. Brownouts, rolling blackouts, loss of jobs all are coming our way. Remember what Mr Obama said during his run for the presidency, "under my plan costs of electricity will neccessarily SKYROCKET" All this is scheduled to take place prior to 2017. God help us, I hope Americans wake up and vote this guy out of office before he totally dismantels any hope of recovery. I really can't see how people will be able to live with energy and food costs tripled and heading toward quadrupled.

Never underestimate the ignorance of the American people.
