Freepers versus electricity

Obama plans to modernize our national power grid. This, of course,means Freepers must find some way to be against electricity now that it's been tainted by the Kenyan.

Russ knows infrastructure sucks cause it costs money:

It will cut costs for consumers but they will have to use that savings to pay the higher taxes needed to pay for the projects. Obama engages in Ponzi schemes the likes of which sends Wall Street shysters to jail...

MrB, and indeed the majority of the thread is applied to:

I'm seriously looking into "off grid" solutions.

Seriously, F Obama's demon power!

American Constitutionalist on the possible, speculative consequences:

This is just a scam to control people's electricity to their homes... and if the people are out of line, or protest against the government, off goes their electricity until they conform to what the government wants.

aptly named Thermalseeker knows this is totally planned to fail, cause that will help the Dems:

I think they are trying to make it so bad that people will flock to the gubmint for their every need, ensuring that those at the very top make out like like the bandits that they are.....

jq2 is sure this is a giveaway to Obama supporters:

It should probably read “One-hundred DEMOCRAT PARTY SUPPORTING companies, utilities, manufacturers, cities and others will receive grants.”

Someone should monitor which of these companies have historically donated funds to the Democrat party.

Every time Obama spends money, we'd just better assume it's going to Dems. Or, at least ignore the Republicans it goes to so we can yell at the part of the money that goes to Dems.

GBA knows him some smart grid:

Smart grid is more mark of the beast on a once free society. We are already way too dependent on all these interlocking systems and it makes us an easy target for all sorts of natural enemies: acts of nature, foreign powers, terrorists and politicians. For example, Katrina hitting NO meant gas shortages here in NC.

Yes, because making a more robust system means it's more easily shut down! That's the way it works. I saw Die Hard 4!
