The Patriot Post® · Agencies Ordered to Green Up

“The White House has made its next move in its crusade against global warming, issuing a memorandum ordering that all federal agencies get 20 percent of their power from green energy sources by 2020,” The Daily Caller reports. American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity spokeswoman Laura Sheehan reminds us, “Time and time again, the president and members of his Administration fail to acknowledge the multitude of economic and electric reliability consequences of supplanting renewable fuel sources with coal-fueled electricity, and now our federal government will become a model for bad policy.” True, except the government already is a bad model. The consequences are inevitable: “[I]n communities across the country – where families are still struggling and budgets matter – ‘economical’ attainment is still decades away,” Sheehan adds. Coal plants are already under enormous pressure thanks to an executive order being administered by the EPA. As a result, many coal plants will be forced to shut down. This latest memorandum furthers the Left’s goal of forever destroying the coal industry.
