You should probably bookmark this thread as the odds of that happening are approximately 100%.

No need, it's only been a few hours and the whining and crying has already begun.

Electric Utilities have been raising rates like crazy before this anyway.

This is just another excuse for them to get even more money out of American pockets.

Though I'm not sure what criteria he's using for "raising rates like crazy", my electricity has risen by a half cent/kwh in the last 5 years. I currently have a 100% wind plan so I don't think it will be affected.

All of the fucking moron deniers in this thread should probably watch last night's episode of Cosmos.

I'm so tired of this climate change nonsense. They had some black moron on Fox last night trying so unbelievably hard to swear up and down it exists and we're causing it. What a load of crap.

And you base your opinion on the matter how? Dr Hannity? Professor O'Riley? Rush Limbaugh?



Funny is I did a search for "they had some black moron on Fox last night" and the first listing as Anandtech of course and the second one was rush limbaugh and then sean hannity lol.

I was living in LA during the ENRON fiasco and the "power outages". We ate a close to 400% electric price increase like it was nothing for YEARS.


These conservative idiots whining about OMG NO COAL MEANS EXTRA 10C! don't mention that BTW, their cronies in the energy companies will gladly rob you of that money too! Even if you follow their directions, they'll rob you blind for sport.

From the OP's article:

Obama's proposal to force a 30 percent cut in carbon dioxide emissions, by the year 2030 from 2005 levels...

Fossil-fueled U.S. power plants account for 6 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions, so even a steep domestic cut affects just a portion worldwide.

Once again my sig is appropriate.

If we are going to talk about climate change buffoonery, we should focus more on the long term damage which we have done and are already doing.


Buffoonery is having mountains of hard data and ignoring it in favor of fantasy.

First its coal, then its natural gas, the seeds of anti coal have started with the anti fracking movement. The man made global warming movement wont stop until America is destroyed.

Yep, it's a world wide conspiracy to end the United States.

You still don't get it. Our CO2 levels are only down because those manufacturing and energy resources are moving to Asia to avoid regulations. Their levels have increased far more than ours have decreased, by like a factor of 4 for just China. Sweeping trash from the living room to the kitchen doesn't make the house any cleaner. It actually makes it dirtier, because when you have an out-of-sight place to dump it all, you make no effort to reduce the mess.


Winner.


Answer? Consume less, not a tiny bit less, a shitton less. Oh, but our consumer driven economy,.. there is that. Lets keep off shoring pollution while borrowing more money to buy more iShit while voting in the next asshole who can lie the best about "green" or whatever the plebs are currently conditioned to get sprung on.

Talk green, but create and push an economy that drives consumption at any cost, it's nonsense. China's not doing a damn thing to clean up the dirty air we subsidize with our material driven fantasies, they have more assholes per square block than we do.

I would say its more of a local liberal self hate policy. They hate that we use more energy then others, they hate Americas success. They cant help but want to bring us down to everyone else's level.


Please tell me how making energy more expensive in the USA benefits the USA?


Fern already stated that energy fossil fuels account for 6% of global output. how is brining that down to 4% while raising our costs by more going to help us?
