The Coal-Dust Lies of Bai-Den

Someone referred to Bai-Den as a 'wild potato' growing underground.  He certainly isn't exposed to the real world's elements as are the rest of us.

...During a speech today, Joe Biden bragged about the example of his visit to a Massachusetts coal-fired plant that was forced to close due to regulation.  However, what Biden didn’t mention was the energy provider telling customers to expect a 64% increase in electricity rates effective November 1st....

Once you've removed inexpensive coal from the fuel mix, well...........shit happens, right?

Biden's text:

... ”I was just — and so we can accommodate that transition.  I was in Massachusetts about a month ago on the site of the largest old coal plant in America.  Guess what?  It cost them too much money.  They can’t count.  No one is building new coal plants because they can’t rely on it, even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of their existence of the plant.  So it’s going to become a wind generation.

And all they’re doing is — it’s going to save them a hell of a lot of money,...

Lie-by-omission #1:  the plant costs 'too much' money because the Feds and State have regulated it to death.  

Lie-by-omission #2:  utilities aren't building new coal plants because Obama and Bai-Den have told them they're going to shut them down.  (That's why 'they can't rely on them.)

Lie-by-omission #3:  it's going to save them a hell of a lot of money because they cannot afford to keep up with the regulatory squeeze (see #1 above.)

Would keeping the plant running have saved them enough to keep that increase down to only 20%?  30%??

You'll never know.  You'll just pay, pay, pay--or freeze.  Joe don't care.
