The natural gas companies are taking it big time. Ironically, which is a far cleaner source of energy, coal or nat gas? That answer is obvious......so much for the "green" agenda.

This will be a huge regressive tax. Let's see what the poor and lower class who voted for Obama have to say after their energy bills triple or quadruple. It won't be pretty.

So my $200 a month winter gas bill is going to $800??..really?..I don't think so

I'm willing to wager whatever JJP wants that it will be closer to $214.65 than $800.

Not to worry JJP - ABC, CBS, NBC and The N (not sure if it is Degrassi or True Jackson) are all over this story - the Adminstration is in big political trouble on this one.

They will be. But Obama's backers are so clueless, they'll just go along with the big rise in energy prices......after all he's the Messiah, isn't he? By the end of 2010 even the hard core Obama backers will realize what a fraud he is.

Meanwhile, earlier last week in Chicago we had a high of 65 degrees on July 1.....the coldest 'high' temperature for that date in 80 years. Must be all that global warming.

So when I played golf on Christmas in Chicago a few years ago, what did you think then?...And I ain't clueless dude

I see plenty of idiots playing golf in 40 degree weather. If that's your idea of fun, fine. Not my cup of tea.

I know that we are now past the 4th of July and I have turned on my air conditioning a total of 3 times in 2009. We had chilly weather well into June. If that's global warning to you, you are from another planet.

You would get your ass kicked on that bet if you made it.
