He went on to explain that coal provides about 40 percent of the nation’s power supply, and it is not at all clear how that would be replaced. “That’s a heck of a lot of electricity that would have to be made up somewhere. We’re talking about dramatically increasing the cost of electricity all to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. I think that is the real goal,” Simmons said. Although he has not officially crunched the numbers, Simmons believes that without a doubt the rule will have disastrous effects on the pocketbooks of Americans as well as on the economy should it proceed. “It could get awfully expensive,” Simmons said. “Some people might see their electricity rates double. If there’s no backup power plants, that means electricity is going to get awfully expensive when you have shortages around the country. If we want to build manufacturing in this country again, the cost of electricity is critical. Otherwise, companies are going to go places where electricity is reliable and inexpensive, and the EPA is trying to make it so that the electricity in the United States is neither reliable nor inexpensive.” - See more at: teaparty.org/dark-obama-plot-black-u-s-power-supply-33204/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=social#sthash.EGSNBaYX.dpuf
