Title: EPA Regulations Expected to Further Cripple Coal Industry and to Unnecessarily Drive Electricity Costs Sky High! Surprised?
Topic: Energy Independence
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Part 1 of 2
Coal currently provides what percentage of the nation's electricity? Is it true that the proposed regulation will ban future construction of new coal-fired power plants and force utilities to use other power sources? What would those other sources be?
Will the EPA’s greenhouse gas rule essentially end the use of coal as a power source in our country? Is President Obama bankrupting the coal industry through his regulatory black boot? (For our listeners, what does the regulatory boot mean?)

Is Obama delivering on his promise to make electricity prices skyrocket? Will American coal be exported to China, thus putting our country at a competitive disadvantage for cheap power?
Does the new rule remove coal as a competitor for electricity, making way for Obama’s renewable alternatives, wind and solar? The new rule is a bail out for whom?

What would the
estimated cost be for the average family listening right now, should the EPA
have the authority and it be upheld by the appellate courts and the U.S. Supreme
Court to regulate cross state line smog and smut?
Are there any studies that show, without a doubt, that humans suffer serious
health problems because of the smog coming out of a coal fire generating plant?

Are the republicans and the conservatives listening to the cry of the
energy suppliers concerning the reliability of our electricity throughout America?
When will the American voter wake up and see that the environmentalists are destroying jobs in America? What is the UN meeting in
Durban, South Africa about?

Title: Obama’s Jobs Panel Infested by Insiders Bug-ridden with Fleas.
Topic: Obamanomics
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Crony capitalism is not an economic plan, says Dr. Tom Borelli,
Director of the National Center for Public Policy Research’s Free Enterprise
Project.
General Electric has significant investments in solar panels and wind turbines
and for their CEO Jeff Immelt to recommend more government spending on clean
energy development is rather self-serving to many Washington watchers.
In addition to Immelt, other members of Obama’s jobs panel can profit from its
recommendation on clean energy. This self-dealing is shocking and members of
Congress need to unplug the panel members from their positions.

Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Congress recently passed the TRAIN ACT – the Transparency in Regulatory Analysis
of Impacts on the Nation Act of 2011. What will it do?
The House may have passed the TRAIN ACT, but will it pass the Senate?
More importantly, will Obama veto the TRAIN ACT?

Title: More of the Same With Hopes for Different Results
Topic: Obamanomics
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
The Houston
Chronicle recently opined that Obama’s New Job’s Bill would create 141,500 new
jobs in Texas. Let’s look at the numbers.
1. 64,100 construction jobs…Obama recently remarked that the first round of
shovel-ready jobs was not very shovel ready. These are not permanent full-time
jobs, though.
2. 39,500 teaching positions. Again – these are not permanent full-time
positions.
3. 37,900 opportunities for training at various vo-tech/junior colleges
Does the Chronicle really consider someone who is receiving training as
someone working full-time?
Obamanomics has not worked and pouring more money down the same rat-hole is not
going to put America back to work.

Title: Obama Should Wave The White Flag And Surrender In His War Against Fossil Fuels
Topic: Electricity: Reliable and Affordable
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
“In the wake of our current economic crisis, President Obama must surrender
his war on fossil fuels by calling off the EPA’s harassment of the industry,”
states Tom Borelli, Ph.D., Director of the National Center’s Free Enterprise
Project.
Mr. Borelli continues, “In addition to harming today’s economy, the actions
taken by the EPA will reduce our competitiveness and our national security.”
Are American families ready for more layoffs, higher electric bills and the
real threat of brown-outs and black-outs for no real benefit in their health? We
must all tell our elected officials, "Send EPA bureaucrats home NOT more American
workers!"

Part 1 of 2 of a Best of
Interview
Prior to his
election in 2008, did Candidate Obama state what he would do to the price of
electricity across America? Did Americans listen?
With many families already struggling to just make ends meet, it’s shocking that
Obama is advancing regulations that will add additional financial burdens to
strained budgets of hardworking Americans.

Discussed by Tom Borelli

Obama’s war on fossil fuels is a
war against hardworking American families. It’s tragic that the president is
siding with the desires of the social and environmental elite over the needs of
American families who can least afford to pay higher energy prices.
Ironically, the Americans who are hurt the most by rising energy prices are the
poor and those on fixed-incomes. Obama is responsible for waging environmental
class warfare against low and fixed-income families while his fellow elites
remain unaffected.

Title: Duke Energy CEO Jim Rogers Challenged Over His Support of President Obama’s War on Fossil Fuels
Topic: Obama's War on Fossil Fuels
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
Obama desires to skyrocket the price of electricity and Obama’s
administration sees nothing wrong with $8 per gallon of gasoline. The social and
political elitists will NOT be hurt with skyrocketing increases in energy costs
but what about you? Why should a major corporation like Duke Energy lobby for
Cap and Trade and why should Duke Energy provide the Democratic Convention a $10
million dollar line of credit? Are they buying political favors? For more on

Discussed by Tom Borelli

Several CEO’s with major
corporations backed OBAMA’s healthcare and Cap and Trade legislation. Will
Tea Party Activists become selective with their purchases and punish the
progressive CEO’s by shopping elsewhere. Why focus on General Electric and
Johnson and Johnson, though?
