President Obama released an extensive new plan to address climate change on Tuesday that included a range of costly executive actions that will eliminate jobs, raise energy prices and do nothing to change global temperatures.

Obama has never been a friend to coal, or to American energy consumers. In 2008, then-candidate Obama told the San Francisco Chronicle editorial board that under his energy plan, “electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.” That plan couldn’t even pass a Democrat-controlled House and Senate, so the president has since begun using the Environmental Protection Agency to implement his plan through backdoor regulations.
