Obama Set to Cost Each of Us Hundreds a Year in Higher Electric Costs

Print Friendly

Barack Obama’s avalanche of needless regulations on coal-fueled power plants are going into effect and the net result will be the closing of hundreds of power plants all across the country just when our need for power is increasing. This will absolutely necessitate the cost of our power to skyrocket. But, this is exactly what he wants. He wants to rape us for our power. He said so from the beginning.

Well, now that he’s had the opportunity to put into place just some of the new rules and regulations he wants — and he’s only pushed through a tiny bit of what he really wants, indeed — we are already seeing the results of his attack on us.

    IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT CONGRESS DO THE PEOPLES BUSINESS AND PROTECT THOSE THAT VOTED THEM IN CONGRESS STOP THE OUT SIDE INFLUENCE OF LOBBYISTS AND DO ALL OF THE U S A, S BUSINESS NOT JUST THE STATE YOU ARE FROM WE THE PEOPLE ARE YOUR BOSS NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND

  • Neb

    With all the destruction that Obama has wreaked across the face of America, doesn’t anyone think it is past the time to impeach this Socialist bastard?

    • JoJo

      The process would take longer and be more expensive than this clown is worth. I also read an article that stated that Obama couldn’t be impeached since he wasn’t eligible to be president to begin with. I’m just hoping that more democrats will wake the hell up and start doing the right thing versus rubber stamping everything that Obama wants.

  • sm

    Dale, there is a problem with “we the people.” We fail to vote out of office those who fail their constituents. Are we too lazy to keep ourselves informed, or is this a backlash from belonging to, and voting according to, the idioms of one political party–no matter what?

    • wally stewart

      the thing is folks dont keep their selves informed-, they act like they dont know to to do research.they depend on the media to do research and fully disclose everything.the fact os todays media has mis lead folks or totalt distorted the truth they found out more about joe the plumber then they did this fraud n chief

    • Mayflower Decendant

      It’s not all “we the people’s” fault! Can we say ACORN? Voter Fraud? Dead people voting? Not needing an ID someone can got from town to town and cast as many votes as they want!
      It’s time to enact voter ID at Election time and voter ID at registration time! If they can’t prove they’re an American citizen then they don’t get to vote!

      Also, this prez has increased Saudi visa’s from 25,000 a year to 100,000 a year since he took office… Saudi terrorist will be this prez’s new army!

  • Eli Jones

    Well, Obama promised to do this and he also called for a personal million man army that will rivel our US Military. Obama is doing exactly what he said he would do including implementing and funding his thug army through Obamacare. I still don’t understand why the happy idiots voted for this fascist pig.

    You should watch this:

    • Dan

      Thanks….
      I also heard Obama first talk about this when he was in Colorado….AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT PEOPLE APPLAUDED. WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE THESE PEOPLE SMOKING?????? THIS GUY TELLS US RIGHT TO OUR FACES THAT HE IS GOING TO TAKE AWAY OUR FREEDOMS…..AND WE APPLAUD HIM. I am 70 years old and I can outlive anything this idiots throws at us….BUT MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE ONES THAT WILL REALLY SUFFER.
      IT IS HAPPENING, PEOPLE…..AND WE ALL BETTER WAKE UP AND GET RID OF THIS GUY.

    to bad the dumb asses didn’t listen to the chimp dick-tater before they voted for him as he told them everything would go up under his rule but wait they listened to all the free stuff he would see that they got well wheres all the free stuff HES A S.O.B AND ALLWAYS WILL BE

  • Lowell T.

    We the people are through if we fall for , It is someone else fault , this go round. It is clear who is at fault. We elect someone else that will do their job and put the brakes on the freaky environmentalist. Gasoline and electrical escalating cost this summer should do it but there are problems. Unions members and environmentalist will get the vote out for those running our country into the ground . Many others don’t pay their own way and will only be effected if the current leaders are out of office. Not only must we get another president we must get many new people from the Counties up. This will take every vote we can muster and observation at the polling places.

    • Chuck

      Ageed, Lowell. His rape of America will not stop until he is VOTED out of office.

    Just out of curiosity, I wonder how much of the White House’s electricity is from wind and solar?

    • Mike

      Actually, they plan to put solar panels on the roof at the cost of millions probably manufactured by one of those failing green companies he loves to fund.

  • 71cijug

    Very simply it IS “we the people['s]” fault.

    We got comfortable and complacent. We let history evolve into social studies. We eliminated civics from the curriculum to teach sex education. We spent more time on recreation than continuing education. We closed our eyes to the media as all forms turned yellow.

    Now that we realize what was going on around us, what we let happen, it is time to step out of our confort zone, to “think outside the box”.

    Read, but fact check everything you read or hear.
    Form a “grassroots” neighborhood committee.
    Invite and RETAIN your non-political neighbors.
    Send representatives to your precinct, borough, or Town committee meetings, for both major parties.
    Carry your message to the meetings, stand up here; it is your first step working within the system to effect change.
    Submit your name for nomination at your Committee caucus, get elected, and be seated as a regular member with voting rights.
    Stay in touch with your base at the neighborhood grassroots meetings.
    Carry their message back to the Committees.
    Elect State central members who represent YOUR voice and your NEIGHBORS wishes.
    Select candidates who represent you “the people” and work their campaigns to get them elected.
    Don’t preach to the choir. Get out of your comfort zone and take your message to those people who DON’T agree with you.
    Go back to your neighborhood grassroots meeting and start over.

    When we do this regularly and we fail, THEN we can blame someone else. Until then, our future is in our hands.

  • Mike

    I am not sure how $4.00 gasoline and skyrocketing electric bills this summer will help this President’s election chances. This is one thing he can’t blame on Bush. The EPA is a savage job killer and everytime they do their thing, the cost of goods and services will go up. As Carville said during the Clinton campaign, it is the economy stupid.

  • Giigii

    Stop voting for the establishment.

    Vote for Ron Paul!

  • Chuck

    Don’t depend on someone else to so;ve these problems. VOTE against Obama and take the country back.

  • Common Sense

    SORRY FOLKS! BUT IT’S WAAAAY TOO LATE NOW! SOME ONE SHOULD HAVE OPENED THEIR EYES! READ THE BOOK! HAD SOME B***S ! A LONG TIME AGO. SIT YOUR CHILDREN DOWN, & APOLOGIZE PROFUSELY! EXPLAIN HOW WE THE PEOPLE! ( ESPECIALLY POLITICIANS,) DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH HONESTY, & GUTS FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING! I’M SORRY! BUT IT WILL BE OUR GENERATION, WHO WILL HAVE THEIR STRETCHED OSTRICH HEADS, BURIED IN AMERICAN, SAND FOR EVER!

  • Jose C

    I put the blame on the President, Congress and most: the media.
    The media knows exactly whats going on and they neglect to report it only because it makes Obama looks bad.
    I’m not surprised. Are you?

  • Jim

    They just closed a power plant in Williamsport MD due to the EPA crap. Laid off 35 workers and now have to go else where for the power. GOP and other lawmakers need to step in and curtail this stuff. Damn sick and tired of stuff being shoved down my throat that costs me more money and does not have to be that way. Time to start reminding the politicos about us throwing more of them out of office that go along with these crack pot ideas. Obozo does not give a damn about it other than appeasing the tree huggers for their votes.

    Don’t listen to this krap. We de-regulated the Banksters, and they layed off tens of thousands and they screwed us over.

    Make our gov’t work for us

  • LoneStar

    The Enemy is in the House, they want to dismantle the America that we have known and loved. Make no mistake folks America is sick, in fact she may be on her death bed. We have lost our patriotism, our morality, and our spirtual life, the three things joseph stalin said would resist infiltration. He said if they could ever undermine any or all of those things, America would collapse from within. Our Whitehouse, and our House of Representatives has been infiltrated with a silent stealth by the Socialist caucus.

    • http://cowboybyte.com Freedom_road

      They are putting in place as we speak protections for themselves so that we have no more normal recourse against these criminals and they are trying everything to make it look like the people that are true patriots are the bad guys. Bait and switch. Remember when Oblamer recently said he didn’t like the part of the bill that said the military could detain American citizens indefinitely without trial or any rights, that was a lie!!!!! He wanted that control so you have way to throw him out for any reason!!!! Folks we have seen this in history before, they are called dictatorships, not a Constitutional Republc. If you want to know what they are doing just listen to what they are blaming others of doing and you will know that’s what they are doing. Destroying America from within all the while claiming that everyone else is unpatriotic, they have highjacked more words and twisted more words than I can keep track of. Started with Clinton when he said “what is the meaning of is?”

      • http://cowboybyte.com Freedom_road

        I missed the “no” in no way to throw commie in the whitehouse out.

  • http://cowboybyte.com Freedom_road

    My bills have already increased in the range of about 30-40% since November of 2011, not due to winter time usage either. He is going after our energy because not only a few will be affected everyone will lose on this one. How about those mini flourescent bulbs filled with murcury, where are the environmentalists on this one. Did someone forget to pull their strings or wake them up. Just proves that the environmentalists and the global warming bunch are a bunch of scam artists forcing the money out of our pockets to pad theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  • VPS

    This has already happened. We live in the Cleveland, Ohio area, and yesterday’s Cleveland Plain Dealer had a front page story: “First Energy to close 4 plants”. Why? Obama and the EPA. The FE rep said “they can not perform the costly regulatory changes and are closing the plants”. This moron in the WH, and his, out of control EPA, are going to be the ruin of our energy supply, and then what?

  • Berenice

    Yep, obama’s plans for this country are marching right along. The next step is to get people to riot, then he can suspend elections, institute martial law and become what he has told us he wanted all along, to be dictator. It will happen. There is nothing we can do. We have tried since before he was elected but nothing has changed. Say bye bye to America and hello sharia.

  • http://Cowboyconsertivebyte George morrison…with a severe case of red ASS

    As we remember and I quote my policies will necessarly cause energy prices to skyrocket, so now we have gas creeping back up to 3.50/gallon and no telling where it will stop at now we will have higher than ever electric bills just where will it end, I just hope the idiots that elected this creep get the highest bills of everyone then maybe these idiots will rethink about re-electing this moron next november………..the best president ever, my ass hurts, they should take him out and tar and feather that clown

  • Maxine

    He is a evil man and needs to be voted out or we need to keep working on his Birth certificate and prove he was not born here then we need to throw him out and his lib friends vote for Ron Paul he will save are country from these thifes

    • VPS

      It’s not even so much that he was not born here, but rather “natural born”. “Natural” means the fact that both parents have to be US citizens, and everyone knows his Kenyan father was not. What is there not to understand? I just don’t get it.!?

  • Bob

    Why should we expect anything less from him? He is doing what he intended to do from the begining. Wreck america. November is just around the corner.

  • renie emrich eyerisheyes

    This guy is very devious and does things we don’t expect and then POW!!! it hits us in the guts get him out of there as quickly as possible..or the next 4 years will be HELL!!!!!

  • MontanaMEL

    It would seem:::
    That those affected electric producers/makers (not just the distributors) should figure out their plant “closings” due to these actions by Obbummer…
    AND:::
    Then they should calculate the NEW COST for power furnished to WASHINGTON DC itself, entotal….include ALL such added costs on THEIR POWER BILLS ALONE… Since the PUC is reported to be “fair and balanced” for the public’s good….they should go along with this ascessment…new rates for DC users… Maybe some $10,000 per month bills will get their attention, eh?…

    OR…just chop off the lines going into that “area”… call it a LOAD SHEDING MOMENT….
    Let the bums’ freeze in the dark…

    Vote often…Vote loudly… FROM YOUR ROOF TOPS!!!

  • GramSam

    BO wants to help homeowners by lowering their monthly payments, but has no problem hiking our utility bills. This man talks thru both ends.

  • twocolts

    Well, the nation’s majority wanted “change”. I wonder if they are all happy..and I wonder how many of the eight/nine million new welfare recipients are happy with their new, free welfare checks in lieu of the job they used to have. And to think the rotten criminal actually says his campaign is all about bringing people together, while he is dividing this nation in a way never before in our history. He is fueling his union bullies, does not condemn their violence and property destruction, does not condemn the foul Black Panthers, instead has them excused, does not condemn the violence and property damage created by the “Occupy” maniacs. I also wonder how many of the sheep that wanted his “change”, are on a suicide-watch, for the most destructive voter-error in our history.

  • Bimbam

    The negro must be removed. Negro traits combined with deadly liberalism has brought us:

    For the FIRST TIME:

    An illegal president!
    Debt has exceeded GDP!
    15,000,000,000,000 debt!
    Credit downgrade of American debt!
    The first negro president!

    Common negro traits;

    Are racist, (always blame whites for negro traits)
    Live off of whites… (Welfare created for them Liberal Johnson, er Lyndon Johnson)
    Do not farm… (Have you ever seen one on a tractor?)
    Never invent anything… (besides the dust pan and mailbox)
    Never prosper any country… (name me one?)
    Jiving is a way of life… (well known and accepted on among negroes)

    There are still people out there that say Obama hasn’t kept ANY of his campaign promises, but I remind them he promised that under his energy plan “energy rates would skyrocket” and he’s kept THAT promise. Thank you Barack Hussein Obama for the increase in energy prices and for all the millions down the drain for your “green-machine” that’s gone belly up. What an amazing President you are. We humble servants should kiss your and Michelle’s feet as we bow in awe.

  • http://cowboybyte.com UPSETVET

    When I see Barack Hussein Obama poised with his head turned to the side and his chin up in the air it brings back memories of “El Duche” or Bendito Mussoline the Italian Facist dictator.
    However, he and his mistress didn’t look so arrogant hanging by their heels fron the roof of a gasoline station after the Italian people had had enough. This should be a warning to ALL dictators and the “wannabes.”

  • US Citizen born and raised

    You know, our retirement accounts have taken a dive. Lost so much money since he took office. Now, one of us has been unemployed for nearly 2 years…..and no we don’t get any benefits, no food stamps, nothing. The other one has a 12.00 / hour job. Barely pays the mortgage and gas to get to the job. So our credit card is carrying us. If we dump some of our retirement accounts, the hit we would take on penalties is less of a hit than what they have already have taken due to the obuma economy. At least it would pay off our credit card and give some cash reserves …just to survive.

    As wityh 99.9% of government initiated ideas, solar panels, wind turbines and a couple of other experimental devices are being pushed to early. They have not been given the needed time to develop into true practicality. Our (infallible???) givernment, in its attempt to appear valid, helpful and intelligent pushes things before they are ready, thus creating failures, substandard products and schemes which must be propped up by lies and subsidies so the establishment can :save face’.

    Look at the list of govt. failed actions to save the people from themselves. The money spent, the human suffering caused, the time and effort spent in TRYING to solve the problems they created by lies, throwing money at them, while business hungrily grabs at another oportunity to profit. (Business and industry are not really to blame for an opportunistic chance to profit).

    If the government would/could allow free enterprise to function, the oil, ower and a multitude of other problems would solve themselves in a much shorter period of time, by themselves and with their own R&D moneys without the government’s early, ill concieved, ill planned and executed efforts. Again what has the present government of self serving non-statesman-like career politition done that that has floated better than a solid block of lead?

    During the British civil war, the buzzword and sry wa, “Kill all the lawyers! Now I do not advise actually killing these lawyer/politicians, but turn them out to make their own living in a free market and fill their slot with STATESMEN! Free enterprise will prevail then, without govenment help from your tax dollar. toysoldier

    Carbon and Life
    It is hard to overstate the importance of carbon; its unique capacity for forming multiple bonds and chains at low energies makes life as we know it possible, and justifies an entire major branch of chemistry – organic chemistry – dedicated to its compounds. In fact, most of the compounds known to science are carbon compounds, often called organic compounds because it was in the context of biochemistry that they were first studied in depth.

    What makes carbon so special is that every carbon atom is eager to bond with as many as four other atoms. This makes it possible for long chains and rings to be formed out of them, together with other atoms – almost always hydrogen, often oxygen, sometimes nitrogen, sulfur or halides. The study of these is the basis of organic chemistry; the compounds carbon forms with metals are generally considered inorganic. Chains and rings are fundamental to the way carbon-based life forms – that is, all known life-forms – build themselves.

    Silicon is capable of forming the same sorts of bonds and structures, but opinion is divided on whether silicon-based life forms are a realistic prospect – in part because it needs higher energies to form them, and in part because whereas carbon dioxide (one of the main by-products of respiration, a process essential to all known life) is a gas and therefore easy to remove from the body, its counterpart silicon dioxide (silica) has an inconveniently high melting point, posing a serious waste disposal problem for any would-be silicon-based life form.

    Barak Hussein Obama probably believes he is working for the greater good . . . the heck with US citizen’s inconvenience, danger and harm. After all, Jeremiah Wright said, “God bless America? No, no, no. God damn America! Americas’ chickens have come home to roost!” Obama has an evil agenda . . . and it is fired by his hatred of Americans, white middle class people, Jews and Christians. Global warming is a convenient mean tyo shut down coal and fossil fuels . . . even though it is based on false premises.

  • Fed up Citizen

    90% or more of the voters are just stupid unknowing drones who are too easily manipulated by both the treasonous Socialist Democrat party and the stupid establishment Republican Party. Those voters can’t see the forest because of the trees! You can’t talk sense into them because they are basically indoctrinated into believing whatever their political party tells them. Instead of doing the research and learning what is really happening in corrupt politics, those drones would rather treat politics as some type of game. They have no idea of what the final outcome will be in the long run but only that they want their team to win! If their man gets elected, but government fails to achieve whatever the voter wants, then it’s always the opposition’s fault. i.e. Obama still blaming Bush for his failings and the treasonous Socialist Democrat Party drones accepting that excuse. On the other side, the Republican “leadership” (a very loose term) can do much to improve the way Washington Government functions, but they simply sit back on their hands and watch the Country fall apart? After all, both the Socialist Democrats and the do nothing Republicans are comfortable in their private social clubs known a the Senate and Congress. They don’t want to rock the boat.

    As a group, the stupid voters deserve everything negative that they get, but unfortunately the rest of us are dragged down the drain with them. Politicians count on the fact that the average voters are too stupid to catch-on to the sham being played on them. The “News” Media is complicit in the ruination of this country. The owners of the big new agencies are the 1960′s wanna be Communist college students now in control of the propaganda tool sold as “News.” I think that it will take a bloody revolution to get rid of all of the politicians who have intentionally created the anti-Constitutional situations we have now. Washington politics is corrupt. What else will change that but a violent revolution? The voters sure don’t have the intelligence to change anything.

    • Old Faithful Geyser

      You may have hit on something here, the News Media, they consume Millions of dollars worth of electricity to get their product (the News) out. Think about how much electricity a Newspaper Company used to run the printing presses, or a Television station uses to light up and transmit the news over the air waves.
      Obama may have just defecated his own nest when the giants in the Media business figure out what it is going to cost them to produce their products. Not only will it cost them more to produce, they will also lose customers because the customer will no longer be able to afford to use their services.
      Even the IT service cost will double because of the energy crisis, Black outs, Brown outs, and Etc. , that will befall all industries.
      Obama is a Genius when it comes to dreaming up schemes to ruin this nation and he has a whole cadre of Ass kissing minions to carry out his every desire.

    Who the hell is going to shut them down if they don’t pass Obamas standards?
    The EPA can dictate and they can levee fines (I guess), but WHO the hell is going to come in and shut the power plant down? Eric Holder???? The UNIONS??????? WHO?????
    Eric Holder can’t spell Power Plant so who is he going to send in to shut a power plant down? the Unions?? the FBI???
    I think it is about time that we have a sit-in at a power plant, to keep it open, or you can sit at home in the dark, either from NO electricity being generated or the fact that you can not afford to purchase it because this Dumb ass President caused the price to skyrocket.
    NO, I say we defy this Bastard and his EPA GESTAPO and tell them how things are going to be done in this country and if he doesn’t like it HE can leave.
    Its like “Red” said in the Shawshank Redemption, Its time to get busy living or get busy Dying.
