The holiday season is the most wonderful time of the year. Lots of egg nog, holiday cheer in the form of people calling for peace on earth and goodwill toward men. People also drink lots of egg nog, eat or give out holiday candy, hang decorations, give to charities and host holiday parties all for spreading good tidings. Environmentalists, on the other hand, prefer to be Scrooges.

As it turns out, some members of the so-called Clean Air Council have decided to serenade the offices of US Senate Robert Casey and EPA in Pennsylvania singing climate carols to make the case for support of President Obama’s proposed carbon rules. The environmentalist activists have re-written Christmas carols that have messages about global warming.

Yesterday was the last day to comment on the President’s proposed carbon emission regulations in which coal mining is a major industry in Pennsylvania. The new rules are very controversial and will have a major impact on the coal industry. According to The Heartland Institute, the new regulations will result in higher energy costs, even more job losses, and coal-fired plants shutting down.

However, you can count on these green college student Grinches to screw up your holiday cheer by advocating for the President’s draconian carbon rules guaranteed to make your life a living hell down the line. I am sure many utility customers will love paying through the nose for the energy they need to live comfortably, and mining employees in coal mining states, like Pennsylvania, will be pleasantly surprised to get their pink slips if the carbon rules are implemented. Obama’s green legacy will be secure too. Bah Humbug!
