How are we going charge our EVs like the GM Volt if Obama makes new coal power plant non-viable options?


coal power
Devon asked:


From the San Francisco Chronicle and US News and World Report: “Barack Obama declared war on America’s coal-fired plants, pledging to regulate the industry so aggressively that “it will bankrupt them because they’re going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”
Wind, natural gas, and solar are fine — but they won’t meet short-term needs. Obama is not terribly supportive of nuclear, and I don’t think his tax policy would encourage the building of nuclear power plants — that leaves coal for the near term — Obama is the person who says he will put coal OUT OF BUSINESS — it is HIS words.

    We won’t be able to.

    Wind and solar requires a reliable backup system because it’s not always windy or sunny. Liberal idiots can’t seem to grasp that.
