It was a stupid move for the Obama Administration to force the closure of hundreds of viably functioning coal fired electrical generating stations across the eastern seaboard and the Midwest. Coal can and was being burned cleanly, but the sky-is-falling climate alarmists had their day anyway, because their calendar boy was in office. Forget the fact that he used a malignant and politicized EPA to regulate the industry out of business. Drunk with success and with their eyes on gun control among many other things, liberals then tried and nearly succeeded in using the EPA to ban lead bullets, and even made strides toward nationalizing water.

There are no meaningful alternatives to fossil fuels. What are 324 million US citizens supposed to do with themselves from the day fossil fuels are banned until these as yet invisible alternative energy sources are developed? The development of which I have serious doubts about in the first place BTW. And then there is the rest of the world. Russia, India and China being the major players among them, all of whom happily burn all the fuel they can get their hands on. Only the incredibly naïve Americans will suffer as the USA is maneuvered into insignificance by the left. The whole renewable energy argument is like pitching a beach umbrella on the dark side of the moon. Gains nothing and means nothing. And BTW for all my onesie wearing hot coco sipping liberal friends out there, you won't find a McDonald's drive-thru, nor Twinkies, and there is no XBOX on the dark side either.
