http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/08/obamas_real_energy_policy.html ==== ===================================================================================================Ezra Klein in the Washington Post reports that the EPA is moving forward with its plans to shutter 20% of the nation's coal-fired power plants. While many are grandfathered in, the power will still go offline starting in the next 18 months. The president has clearly stated on the record that he wants to put the coal industry out of business.

The EPA policy to destroy US energy supply will inadvertantly put the country in jeopardy. It seems the admin is doing whatever it can to reduce energy supply and drive up cost. Very soon there will be a man-made energy crisis.
 
And not just the EPA. Whild Life Service and some other agency are also doing the same within their power. Hampering any energy development project in the name of supposedly endangered species.
 
That doesn't sound right.
 
The unintended consequence is that Americans will be forced to endure rolling black-outs at high gas price. 
 
And the best part from the article is:
=================================================
The real battle is being fought under the radar.  The administration is using regulatory power and permitting to choke off conventional power.  Last year, I sat in a packed conference center at China's largest solar power conference as I listened to one of Europe's leading solar power executives state that the industry needed to work to make conventional power so expensive that alternative energy sources can compete.  This has been a part of the plan all along and the current administration seems to be working along those lines.

Some animals are indeed more equal than others.
