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!"

Title: Part 2 of 2 of a Best of Interview
Topic: Electricity: Reliable and Affordable
Discussed by Tom Borelli
with National Center for Public Policy Research (www.NationalCenter.org)
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: Is the EPA the Road Block to Job Growth and Economic Recovery? And If So, What Should Congress Do?
Topic: Electricity: Reliable and Affordable
Discussed by Mike Carey
with American Council for Affordable and Reliable Energy (www.ACareNow.org)
Since January, the EPA has been implementing an entire suite of green-house
regulations intended to make it painfully expensive for utilities to continue
burning coal for electricity generation.
Mr. Carey explains how much electricity is produced by using coal as the boiling
fuel for steam powered generators. He further reminds our audience how President
Obama as a candidate explained that he would not mind bankrupting the electric
utilities that burn coal.
Without affordable and reliable electricity, consumers are hurting along with
businesses that are discouraged from expanding or building new facilities.
