I'll bet I'll like this like one of Al Gore's $100,000 electric cars. Like Ronnie said, the most feared words in the English language: "I'm from the government and I'm here to help you." Let's boot out these dunces and make Rachel Maddow relevant again.

These morons have got to be stopped otherwise we are on a fast train heading for a canyon.

If I lacked the gut feeling that every verb in that blurb from the bill will mean, in reality, the Exact Godforsaken Opposite of what the bill wants you to believe, I might not be so viscerally opposed.

As Gimli said in LOTR, "your words stand on their heads", and that is exactly what this energy killer does. It will destroy the coal, oil and gas, and nuclear energy sectors of our economy, with nothing but a hope and a promise. Nothing. Wind and solar are not reliable, and this bill will make us a third-world country in less than 5 years. Anyone who votes for this monstrosity should be punished accordingly.
