Look What Obama Hid in the Microwave

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


http://www.dcclothesline.com

I have, in my lifetime seen many things hidden in a microwave, but leave it to Obama to hide a new tax in one.  In a recent new rule on microwave ovens, Obama hid a raise in the projected social cost of emissions by about 50%, from $23.80 a metric ton to $38.00 a metric ton.  This could affect every coal fired plant left in the United States, to new building projects, including the Keystone Pipeline.

When calculating the “damage” to the environment due to “global warming’, this calculation is vital.  When you weigh the cost of new regulations against the benefits, this will make it much easier for Obama to close plants and prevent new ones from going on line.  And they are not through yet.

“As we learn that climate damage is worse and worse, there is no direction they could go but up,” Laurie Johnson, chief economist for climate at the Natural Resources Defense Council, said in an interview. Johnson says the administration should go further; she estimates the carbon cost could be as much as $266 a ton.”

As always, the biggest victim will be the consumer.  Currently, 38% of all electricity comes from coal fired plants.  The EPA’s coming carbon tax. which was already seen as possibly doubling or more of the cost of electricity from coal, would now be excessively higher.  It will also make it much easier for the EPA to mandate new equipment at a cost that makes it more efficient to close the plant.

And where do we get the additional electricity from?  Green power?  Obama brags that over 11% of all electricity in the US comes from renewable sources, but over 60% of that is hydroelectric that predates the sun and wind, which produces about 3% of all electricity we use.  Will Obama trade us some magic beans for our cow?  And will those beans magically grow into electricity?  No.

And what about his all of the above approach to energy?  Nuclear?  Forget it, he is withholding money from nuclear even after huge sums have been invested based on that promise.  In South Carolina, 2 billion has been spent on a nuclear plant, but now may have to close and all employees laid off as a result.

More wind?  First of all, it’s literally impossible to make up the difference with wind, and furthermore, it’s much more costly, especially since besides a wind power electricity generating plant, you must also build a natural gas generating plant to take over when wind energy is short.  Not only do you need a plant, but you need people on constant standby in case it has to be fired up to take over.

The troubling thing is that this was never opened for public comment as required by law.  And remember, the bleak scenario is based on an increase to 38 dollars a metric ton.  Imagine if it does reach the 266 a ton Obama wants.  In the meantime look for a new increase in the 4 slice toaster requirement coming very soon.

      Obama does nothing he is a puppet just like his predecessors. So, if you want to cast blame, most likely it’s international bankers demanding more and more money from their debt slave USA inc.

      • Corruption Killer

        Obama had the opportunity to reveal the corruption. He however is part of the politicians from the most corrupt state in the U.S… Illinois. He took his opportunity to steal as much as he can with his muslim friends and like an idiot continued to arm and protect drug cartels and terrorists. Well he took the reigns right out of the Bush Administration and the dog bit his hand for allowing to be caught. He has no talents, no vision he is not the kind of person you would wnat to meet in a dark alley. He is nothing more, just like his predecessors. Now we have Freemasons and their drug cartels, republican and democratics that are no different than one another in any fashion, the bankers and now the Muslims who vow like the drug cartels to take over the United States. The systematic theft of every citizen of the U.S. here and abroad. Its no accident and can you trust a person with your money that reused to submit how he uses our money or refuses to and fails to balance a simple budget that any High School grad is capable for over 4 years. Now it appears the President is a drug addict and AWOL when acts of war against our country were taken. But ends up being another illegal drugs, arms and spoils trade from raping people other than U.S. Citizens that is their specialty. It should be law for all legal U.S. citizens to receive a 4 year extension on filing tax statements, I mean we are just learning from the actions of a president involved heavily of mass murders by publicly announcing his administration armed and expected many people to die from their illegal acts. Electric chair in Indiana State Prison, who by the way is controlled by the freemasons and Zeta Drug Cartel. Our country is utterly and completely infiltrated by serial, criminally insane anarchists that have developed a Super Elite Hierarchy so fraught with crimes that the discussion of its existence or quitting of its members is not allowed..unless you like to die. These corrupt officials are robbing our and all countries worldwide and laundering over 5 trillion a year for themselves and drug cartels annually. The Indiana Supreme Court has even found laundering of payoffs and bribes for Freemason/Zeta drug cartels are going directly thru the Indiana State Court Legal Programs….but upon the discovery no action or further investigation was taken..just like our U.S. Banks that are allowed to launder and protect the politicians and drug cartels that pocketed more that 100 Trillion since 2001. We need death sentence and we need it fast for any officials involved in drug cartels, money laundering, organ harvesting, child trafficking and illegal involuntary medical research on humans which is the top crimes being committed by our politicians that are beyond arrest and their associates BROTHERS who refuse to answer questions under oath.

    • Corruption Killer

      If Barry Soetero alias Barrack Obama is making coal powered plants to costly to maintain than why are Indiana Coal fired power plants expanding 4 to 500 percent their previous size?????

      • ElOregonian

        Because it’s called “Crony Capitalism”. Just like when the GM Dealerships that were owned by republicans were forced to shutdown, but not those dealerships that were owned by supporting democrats. It is called communism/socialism. One of Bari Shabbazz’s favorite ideologies. Give more power and ownership to the Government in order so that they may wield more power and influence over their enslaved subjects. It is their classic, telltale modus operandi. The problem with these idiots is they have no new ideas. sycophants take over movements and turn it into cash-cows for themselves, their families, associates and friends.
