Does This Surprise Anyone?

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.
