Increased pollution asside, stupid socialist government give away the power almost for free, and no tax. While they burned coal they paid massive amount of taxes. Since the socialists don't grasp the concept of lowering taxes, guess who's gonna have to pay those taxes now? that's right, the people, regular workers. They'll raise income tax, gasoline tax, and raise a shitload of other taxes.

Meanwhile, anyone who tries to produce their own energy, be that and old fashioned diesel generator, or a brand new and very innovative generator using solar, wind, waves, water, geothermal or whatever the nature has to offer almost instantly gets a visit from the government and a severe punishment for choosing to be independent. Fuck socialism.
