Obama is lying about supporting increased energy production.
In order to optimize the number of votes that Obama might get he has at least stated that he is in favor of energy policies that include: Clean Coal Technologies, Safe Nuclear and Offshore Drilling of Oil. We now see that he won’t expand any of these at all through additional production BECAUSE he plans to tax Clean Coal Technologies into bankruptcy (his words) not for pollutants but for carbon emissions which is not mitigated by Clean Coal Technologies (see my post immediately below). We know that he will not support Safe Nuclear even though there are decades of proven and improving technology because he is claiming we need alternate technology for “storing” spent fuel first and he gets to define those standards. Also he is not really for increasing offshore drilling because he will only allow it at the 300 mile limit where first of all there is no oil and if there were it would be prohibitively expensive to retrieve………..but he can say out loud to minimally informed adults and the willing media that he supports coal, nuclear and drilling…….what a guy. The increase in production of energy by these means will be exactly zero and he will have a good story as to why not. You’ve already heard his excuse right here, right now.
Under Our Plan Electricity Prices Will Skyrocket …. Barack Obama
Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle in January that under his plan that the power industry would be allowed to build a coal generated power plant “if they wanted to” but that “under his plan” his “cap and trade” system would charge for the production of every unit of power for carbon emissions to the point that it would bankrupt them. He also sated that “under his plan the cost of coal fired electricity would SKYROCKET.” Listen for yourself HERE. [No, It is not out of context]
Under my plan energy cost would skyrocket audio HERE.
I heard today the Democratic apologists saying that he (Obama) would allow the use of clean coal technology. This is a spin (lie) that they hope will cover the issue for 2 days. The truth is that clean coal technology deals with scrubbing the burning of coal to remove sulfur from the emissions (You remember the “acid rain” issue). This is what clean coal technologies deal with, not Carbon). Sulfur is a pollutant and Carbon is not. As he specifically says in the attached tape that his comments are related to Carbon Emissions and that the Carbon Offset penalty is related to these Greenhouse Gasses, not the sulfur.
The question of “clean coal” technology is in doubt as well. Biden stated that maybe countries like China and Russia would use clean coal technologies, but it wouldn’t be allowed in America. Listen to Biden yourself HERE.
