Autopsy. Mary Jo/Ted Baby asked:
Exactly how much room in the budgets of the elderly and poor and working families does Obama believe is available for electricity that costs a lot of money?

Well until we know just how much more expensive it will be, there is no way anyone can answer that question(?) now is there.

Wind Power is cheaper than coal in the long run.

where are you getting your numbers that wind energy costs more. There is a town in TX that has not raised energy costs at all and use ONLY wind power to provide electricity to the town. How much do you think it costs for energy from coal or oil?
Wind, Solar, Hydroelectric, are the cheapest and the least harmful as far as by-products released into the air.

When did Obama state that he would require the elderly to pay for wind power?? Obviously, he is looking to reduce the costs and find new and better sources of energy. Unlike McCain, Obama has promised not to tax ANY elderly people who make less than 50,000 per year. As for wind energy, it will only be successful and marketable when it is proven to be equal to or less costly than traditional means.

How exactly will it cost more for electricity whose price is regulated by the government?
The origin of the energy does contribute to its price (witness the increase of costs due to higher prices for oil) but to raise costs the utilities in most states have to get price increases approved before being passed on.
And I would like to know your source for the “high cost” of wind power.

I didn’t think Republicans cared about poor working families - make them fend for themselves…right?

The existence of wind generated electricity as opposed to coal-fired or nuclear generated should, in theory, drive electric bills down for all consumers. Wind is for free unlike coal and oil and nuclear material. All that it requires is a hookup into the existing distribution system and, eventually, a nation-wide expansion of the distribution system to serve ever- increasing consumer demand.
