Yesterday the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity released a report that documents how the Obama administration’s war on coal (and on cheap energy generally) has hurt poor and middle-class Americans. While I can’t vouch for the calculations, the report is an impressive piece of work, based on energy consumption and price data from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Energy Information Administration, along with data from the Census Bureau and the Congressional Budget Office.
Energy costs consume a substantial portion of the budgets of lower-income Americans. This simple chart tells the story: while energy costs account for only 7% of expenditures by those who earn over $50,000 per year, those making less than $30,000 pay an astonishing 23% of their after-tax income for energy. more
This Jesuit Pope is beginning to irritate me.
Looks like he’s joining the global warming/climatechange/antiAmerican crown. Am I wrong?

Sad when even the pope is lying about the environment for political gain.
The Pope should stick to what he knows. Saving souls and diddling 13 year old boys.
The Catholic Church and the elite statist being allies is not so far fetched when you think about the power they shared during the middle ages; welcome back serfs.
He’s been an Italian Argentinian Communist Jesuit Liberation Theologist for 55 yrs. Red Frankie Bergoglio – what else does one need to know?
I am no saint and know i do not deserve eternal life, but I would hate to be any of the popes after I die and have to stand before God and answer for my wrong doings as pope of his church.
It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to cause one of these little ones to stumble. Luke, 17:2
There are many who believe the Catholic church
is the false church in the end times KJV.
This pope makes me wonder…
For an Orthodox Christian, this Pope’s making it easier to claim that the Catholic church is heretical.
What do you do when The Pope is insane? There is no recall process is there? No religious court of impeachment? No vice Pope?
So what about a thunder bolt? Has it ever been done?
@Zonga – Historically the solution has been a special cup of tea. Certainly the Borgia’s preferred infusion.
Francis the Talking Ass is the perfect Pope for a Church that has taken NO stand against child sacrifice for over 40 years.
A Church that has failed to excommunicate the likes of Biden, Pelosi, Kennedy, and others over their indulgence of child sacrifice, murder in the name of socialism, racism, and hate for a few more coins in the basket and a chance to rub elbows with the swells.
A Church that has embraced perversion – indeed – promoted perversion, and protected perverts from due process and the opportunity for redemption.
Yes, Francis is perfect for his position.
