He pledged it eight years ago. Here's a video update from three years ago:
And despite (temporarily) lower oil and natural gas prices, The One still has power rates spiraling ever upward:
U.S. average electricity rates will hit a record high, this year, at 38% higher than they were in 2001, according to the Energy Information Administration. That record is expected to be beaten in 2016, as prices hit 12.86 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) – the highest annual average price in the 21st century.
Electricity prices have been creeping up since 2001, according EIA data, and prices are set to rise even further as coal-fired power plants are shut down due to Environmental Protection Agency clean air regulations. So far, 381 coal-fired generators are slated to shutdown over the coming years due to EPA rules.
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects retail electricity prices to “increase by 1.1% in 2015 and by 1.8% in 2016.” Pretty much the whole country will see their electricity rates rise in 2015, says EIA, with the highest rises–nearly 4%–hitting New England residents.
U.S. residential electricity rates are projected to average 12.50 cents per kWh for 2014, according to EIA. But that electricity rates are set to rise to 12.63 cents per kWh in 2015 and 12.86 cents in 2016.
Just imagine how bad it would be if his imperial majesty had been able to keep all energy sources at exorbitant price levels. We already bundle up in sweaters and fleeces at my house. Thank God the Pacific Northwest is the only non-Sun Belt region of the country that is having a comparatively mild winter, or my electricity bill might rank second only to my mortgage payment on the list of bills I can't afford.
It illustrates, yet again, what a blind-guide leftwing extremist zealot Barack Obama is. He's never going to back off of anything, any disastrous policy, on any issue. And he's going to force each and every one on us, regardless of Congress, the courts, the law, or the Constitution. We, The People, are going to be stripped of electricity, prosperity, modernity, food, shelter, medical care, and herded into that damp cave with Moon-Watcher to await the killer leopard....
....and yes, he'll confiscate all our bones, too.
Second look at impeachment?
