I receive a daily email from the Dallas Business Journal with headlines from the local business scene.  You can imagine I was not surprised to see these 2 headlines adjacent to each other in the email:

EFH says air rules could prompt power plant closures

Extreme heat prompts electric grid warning

At a time when we have the electric grid nearly maxed out, the EPA is hammering the electricity providers with its under the radar cap and trade program to shut down those evil coal-fired electricity plants.  All this will do is drive up costs, or to quote then candidate Obama. “Electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket“.  I am not sure how that will help the economoy, but I don’t think that is a concern of this President.

If you are looking for a concise view of why our economy is struggling, the Heritage Foundation has done a concise and spot on analysis located here.

Proposed solutions:

“Those measures include repealing Obamacare, its employer mandates and tax increases; preventing the Environmental Protection Agency from regulating carbon dioxide; passing tort reform to reduce the cost of meritless lawsuits; expanding trade agreements; permitting more domestic energy production; and cutting spending to avert massive tax increases.”

Spot on indeed!!
