It sort of depends on who provides your energy, what type of energy they are using, and what region of the country you are in. But for the average person it will raise their energy costs. I can't really give you any solid numbers or percentages as I haven't looked into it and there is no final bill (about 400 amendments have been proposed). Costs will level out once energy companies start shifting their resources around (which is already happening and will continue to accelerate). If you are getting your energy from nuclear, wind, hydroelectric, solar, geothermal, etc., it won't really affect how much you pay.
I hope this stimulates investment in nuclear facilities. We are doing very well in wind, decent in solar, but still lacking in development of new nuclear energy plants.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
