''Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket"
But since he couldn't get Cap & Trade, Obama once again wields his pen with authoritarian ease, and now reaches through his EPA to set new regulations, fulfilling the promised hikes, while wrapping it all in climate change propaganda to make you feel better:
Today, @POTUS is releasing his #CleanPowerPlan—the biggest step we've ever taken to #ActOnClimate. http://t.co/GBSJ8hlIRD

WSJ: EPA is announcing an overall 32% cut in power-plant carbon emissions by 2030 from 2005 levels, similar to what EPA set in the draft rule proposed last summer.With Levin's new book out on Tuesday, he quickly responded this morning to news of this further plunder...
Today Obama's issuing the most disastrous "environmental" rule yet, which will do grievous harm to the economy, kill jobs, and drive up energy costs. This is part of the radical left "degrowth" movement I discuss in Plunder and Deceit. Although the book isn't released until tomorrow, here's my chapter on the real motivation of the so-called environmental movement, which I encourage you to read and then send to all your email contacts.Something that Obama finally didn't completely lie about...but nonetheless causes unrelenting havoc.
On Monday’s Mark Levin Show: Democrats used to fight for blue collar workers like coal miners, but today they’re killing the entire industry. The EPA doesn’t have the power to do what it’s doing, killing energy production through endless regulations. President Obama isn’t doing anything to protect the environment or save the kids; it’s all for power. The “de-growth movement” is a war on energy production and middle America; the EPA wants to control businesses and communities through regulations so they can control you.
Controlling life before birth or expediting your exit isn't enough. They must control your very breath...exhale.
