Obama’s war on coal hits your electric bill
By Phil Kerpen
May 22, 2012
Obama’s War on Coal has already taken a remarkable toll on coal-fired
power plants in America.
Last week the U.S. Energy Information Administration reported a
shocking drop in power sector coal consumption in the first quarter of
2012. Coal-fired power plants are now generating just 36 percent of
U.S. electricity, versus 44.6 percent just one year ago.

The market-clearing price for new 2015 capacity – almost all natural
gas – was $136 per megawatt. That’s eight times higher than the price
for 2012, which was just $16 per megawatt. In the mid-Atlantic area
covering New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and DC the new price is
$167 per megawatt. For the northern Ohio territory served by
FirstEnergy, the price is a shocking $357 per megawatt.
Why the massive price increases? Andy Ott from PJM stated the obvious:
“Capacity prices were higher than last year's because of retirements
of existing coal-fired generation resulting largely from environmental
regulations which go into effect in 2015.” Northern Ohio is suffering
from more forced coal-plant retirements than the rest of the region,
hence the even higher price.

Tell that to the elderly couple that live on a fixed income that
now,thanks to Obama and his EPA brownshirts,can't afford to run the A/
C in the sweltering summers or the heat in the freezing winters and
are faced with the choice of buying food or keeping their lights
working. Never mind being forced to buy $60 light bulbs or pay for
food that has gotten so expensive,thanks to the price of fuel,that the
poor are forced to either starve or eat dog food just to stay alive.
But hey,go ahead and vote to reelect Obama. If they think times are
hard for them now just turn the uber-marxist radical loose with
another 4 years without having to worry about reelection. Hello
Zimbabwe West,here we come !!
