Blackouts and Worse: Dems Policies Killing New England

The progressive elite war against coal energy producers is playing out like a chapter in Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged. In a case of delicious irony, the liberal New England region is getting slammed for its lack of energy diversity.
New England’s energy mess stems from its overreliance on natural gas and an insufficient transportation network to carry the fuel. Just like the Aristotelian axiom of A=A, liberals are now learning they are not immune to the law of supply and demand.
The loss of coal-fired power, long urged by local activists, has greatly contributed to the region’s energy imbalance.http://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2014/03/06/blackouts_and_worse_dems_policies_killing_new_england_107570.html
