:::Given that Obama plans to make electric rates "skyrocket,"[http://blog.heritage.org/2011/06/09/here-come-obama%E2%80%99s-necessarily-skyrocketing-electricity-rates/] I assume the Volt will end up taking one for the team. As near as I can tell, the environmentalists oppose all forms of power production: nuclear, coal, gas, oil, hydropower, etc. With Obama flying in the world's least fuel efficient airplane and rolling in an eight-mile-a-gallon limo, a lot of peasants will have to do without for the result to be carbon neutral.

::::I’m sure every Pres. Obama basher has heard your skyrocket factoid. Of course what his critics never mention is the context. '''If you can’t persuade the American people that, yes there is going to be some increase in electricity rates on the front end, but that over the long-term -- because of a combination of more efficient energy uses and changing lightbulbs and more-efficient appliances, but also technology improving how we can produce clean energy -- that the economy will benefit.''' <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/fact-checker/post/did-obama-promise-a-war-on-affordable-energy/2012/10/19/d1fa0156-1975-11e2-aa6f-3b636fecb829_blog.html</ref> Cap and Trade used to be a huge Republican method of environmental change. Low sulfer coal, CFC gases, and unleaded gasoline were successful targets of cap and trade during Republican administrations. Even Gov. Palin and Sen. McCain were big supporters of cap and trade but now that Pres. Obama come out in favor using this mechanism to reduce CO2 the Republicans had turned tail and derided it as cap and tax. It seems if a Democrat is for it, like your current president, then they are against it. --[[User:NormaN|NormaN]] 19:23, 5 February 2014 (EST)
