We definitely need safe, economical, and reliable sources (multiple sources) of energy to maintain our lifestyle and economy, but a major “hit” on coal regulations will force the financially challenged to disproportionally pick up the costs that trickle down from businesses to their pocket books.

Japan’s answer to their “lost” nuclear power from the Fukushima tsunami disaster is Coal Power. Japan ADDED about 60 million tons of CO2 emissions from coal powered generating plants as a direct result of the closing of their nuclear plants, to keep their economy moving. Their economy is more important than the quality of their air.

The method to counteract the ever increasing costs to the financially challenged, from the costs of over regulations, over taxation, and uncontrollable fees on businesses that trickle down to the pocket books of the financially challenged, is to raise the minimum wage for the financially challenged. But wait….is this a camouflaged Ponzi scheme, or just a way
to buy votes from the financially challenged?
