Obama in September 2008;
The problem is not technical, uh, and the problem is not mastery of the legislative intricacies of Washington. The problem is, uh, can you get the American people to say, “This is really important,” and force their representatives to do the right thing? That requires mobilizing a citizenry. That requires them understanding what is at stake. Uh, and climate change is a great example.
You know, when I was asked earlier about the issue of coal, uh, you know — Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket. Even regardless of what I say about whether coal is good or bad. Because I’m capping greenhouse gases, coal power plants, you know, natural gas, you name it — whatever the plants were, whatever the industry was, uh, they would have to retrofit their operations. That will cost money. They will pass that money on to consumers.
Obama in June, 2009;
AP: Obama says the Energy Tax Bill (aka as Cap and Tax) “would cost the average American about the price of a postage stamp per day.”
Can any of you Obamacans explain to me how electricity rates will skyrocket but only cost us the price of a postage stamp a day? I don't understand liberal math.
