[citation][nom]reggieray[/nom]And with all the Marxist tree huggers the Obama regime has put in the EPA and the EPA working on shutting down coal plants and others they don't like, what are you going to charge your freaking electric car with. Oh thats right fairy dust and hemp.[/citation]
Oh yeah....we were MUCH better off with the Bush administration taking pay-offs from the coal burning power plants to ignore the laws they broke for 2 decades.... For those that are lost, the clean air act required ALL coal burning power plants to install scrubber systems when major maintenance was done to the plants. These scrubber systems were proven to reduce the plant emissions by up to 90%. Now, consider the fact that coal burning power plants produce more than 50% of the pollution in the US, that "up to 90%" reduction in emissions for coal burning power plants would make a considerably larger impact on the environment than any other stupid idea the US Gov't has ever conceived. Now, instead of worrying about the environmental impact of the coal burning power plants....the Bush administration accepted millions of dollars in brides to ignore the fact that more than 50% of the coal burning power plants in the US completely ignored the Clean Air Act.
Before you start spouting bullshit regarding politics, at least have some sort of clue. The Obama administration gave GE BILLIONS of dollars to build new plants in the US and hire people to develop "green energy technologies". Instead of using that money for the purpose it was intended. The CEO of GE decided it was a better use of the money to shutdown plants in the US, leaving 35,000 more people unemployed, and use OUR TAX MONEY to move their operation to China. The CEO of GE is a Republican..... This is on top of the tax bill that Bush signed giving tax breaks to companies willing to move jobs overseas.... So, again, at least have a clue what you're talking about before you start spouting your political BS....
