Nuclear is better for the environment and safer than coal. You people think everything obama touches turns to shit.
 Quoting: krosty


whither people know it or not, like it or not, nuclear power is a must if we are to survive as a civilized society. most have no clue as to the tremendous energy input required to produce enough food to feed the world. solar, wind or geothermal ain't gonna do it.

My electric has always been high...any higher, and I do not know how we will afford it.

Everything is getting more expensive.:sfh:
 Quoting: Krystal



Take a few tiles off your roof and insert a solar panel and a simple battery for storage..or get someone to do it...it works even in the worst weather...hot water; fridge; stove, heating taken care of... No Electricity tax bill!!!

This is old news already...there was a South African Entrepreneur that has reduced this outlay even less with a new panel that was featured on an Investigative Journalist TV show here...Just once and then nothing else..Tried to find it but there's nothing...

Safe to say he took the Energy Multinational pay-off...

The Coming 'Obama Recession' Of 2013
After campaigning hard for his new soak-the-rich tax increases, President Obama—er, I mean President Franklin D. Roosevelt—won reelection in 1936. A solid Democratic Congress dutifully passed the tax hikes, which quickly led to what’s known as the “Roosevelt recession” of 1937. If President Obama wins his reelection bid and gets his tax increases implemented, we will get the “Obama recession” of 2013.
The full article is here: [link to www.forbes.com]
"The government will one day be corrupt and full of liars, and the people will flock to the one that tells the truth." - “Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.” - "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not." - "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." - "A Country with no Border, is not a country" -- Thomas Jefferson

We MUST NEVER forget what Kamala Harris did to Justice Kavanaugh & his family!

Obama has supported the coal industry and particularly oil and gas.

I think coal workers obviously know that.

Is this one of those cases where they keep repeating the lie until somebody believes it? FYI, Everybody heard barry say he would tax and regulate coal users/producers out of business. So what you are saying is BULLSHIT

With Coal on it's way out they will soon wish for the days where electricity was made for a mere $16 a megawatt.

It will now go to $167 per megawatt in PA. They will see the adjustment on their electric bills in a year or so and cry.

0hio will enjoy an adjustment to $357 per megawatt.


I guess that is what they wanted. They swung towards Obama. There are a lot of Coal miners and Coal mines shutting down ........


Say goodbye to cheap power. Those fools in those states are going to get a rude awakening.


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.

The U.S. is the No. 2 coal producer in the world.
I think we are still the No. 1 exporter.

The Energy Information Administration projected U.S. coal exports to reach a record 1.25 billion short tons in 2012.

With record exports, someone is making it rich.


Coal stocks would perform better under the energy policies of a Romney administration than a second Obama administration.

Natural gas and alternative energy
His platform has focused the most, however, on “a new big player,” natural gas.

Most oil companies that frack oil think natural gas as waste. Lower gas prices at the pump to just 2.00 and the frackers will pack up and go home.

Wrong.

It's completely feasible for "normal" people.
It's called a solar lease and you should look into it.
Many large solar companies offer it and it's a "miracle solution" at ZERO money down.

I've had it installed on my home for FREE and my attic roof reinforced for FREE and I pay way less for electricity now and I get a reimbursement at the end of every year for power Ive sold back to the electric company so yes I do laugh all the way to the bank and no I'm not full of shit, friend.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26487248


That's because you aren't counting the solar credit uncle sugar gave the installer. Tax dollars. Your scheme socializes the cost and privatizes the profit, the way Wall Street does math. Redistribution fails because it creates NOTHING. No free lunch, never was - never will be. Without the Federal incentives you would not have your solar lease.
 Quoting: Kirk


Does nothing?

It takes my home about 90% off coal fired plants and uses power from a renewable source.

Fed incentives are hardly a windfall where I live buddy. Sure the solar company gets them with a lease but with life insurance on the system including a multithousand dollar sunny boy inverter that will need replaced every 10 years, I'll take that deal.

I come out WAY ahead and so does the planet and every living thing on it.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26487248

Doesn't take that much space, I have plenty on my roof and I can sell the excess back to the grid.

Now for those city-dwelling Obama voters who live in apartments, I guess they are truly fucked, but they voted for it so they should enjoy it.

lol

just because you have a few solar panels on your roof does NOT make you fully energy independent

you have a GRID TIE system

that does NOT provide for all your power needs AT ALL and you know that as you STILL get a power bill

I happen to be 100% off grid and I KNOW what it takes to do it...

Solar is not practical in real world practice

take it from someone who has actually done it

I'm glad I did because I'm self sufficient but for the average person in the average neighborhood it just aint happening

Good point Trin. A few points of my own:

1. I am not an average person in an average neighborhood. I know what I'm talking about, about this. I even know more than you do about it, no offense. I've worked in the energy industry and am an electrical engineer.

2. I am not trying to get off the grid with this system. I don't need to, to remove the effect of Obamaprices from my life. All I need to do is, on the average, to feed back the same amount to the grid as I take at other times.

3. I am currently off the grid anyway. I am in the NYC suburbs which, as you've heard, has had some recent weather events. A week after Sandy and I am still running off my gasoline generator.

4. Being off the grid with solar would be nice, but quite expensive because of mainly the batteries to store sufficient power. A grid-tie system, with emergy energy storage via gasoline or propane rather than batteries, seems reasonable to me at current prices.

With you %100 on that. Here in Oz it costs about $8,000 for a 5 Kilowatt inverter and 16 panels, thats enough for an average family. Power created above use gets you a cheque from the energy company. Off grid for a families needs runs at $63,000 to start up because the batteries are expensive so on grid feed back is a good way to go.
