24. I foresee a lot of Americans facing thawing, rancid food SOON
...because the US is currently shipping boatloads of coal to places like CHINA and that is increasing electricity prices across America NOW.

Our situation: we are consistently using LESS kw/h month over month than last year but paying 20-30% MORE for it. Explain to me how even more expensive "clean" coal is going to help us keep our lights on?

The "clean" coal nonsense is just another way of sticking it to middle class America while the energy companies make profits hand over fist selling our resources to the highest overseas bidder. Until we get serious about renewable energy sources right here, we can expect to see bad go to MUCH WORSE.
