John Boehner's twisted world -- a red hot one, apparently.

In a critique of President Obama's climate policy announcement, House Majority John Boehner said that, "These policies, rejected even by the last Democratic-controlled Congress, will shutter power plants, destroy good-paying American jobs and raise electricity bills for families that can scarcely afford it."

Half-truths, if that.

• " rejected even by the last Democratic-controlled Congress" -- More like, unable to get past a filibuster threat by Republicans.  Oh those Republicans...they love to do nothing but talk about how they aren't responsible for anything.
• "will shutter power plants" -- For every dirty power plant that gets shut down, a clean one will replace it.  Energy is regulated, insofar that power companies get to recoup all of their investment costs and receive a guaranteed, government-backed profit margin.  If a power company wants to stay in business, it'll have to build clean power plants, or else get shut out by others.
• "destroy good-paying American jobs" -- Increased power pricing creates incentives for power savings and higher efficiency.  And, for every job destroyed by closing a dirty power plant, a new, high-paying job is created in support of clean technology.  They never talk about the loss of jobs from environmental disasters from dirty power, such as the leaking XL pipeline or the tailing pon spills from coal plants, do they?
• "raise electricity bills for families that can scarcely afford it" -- One way or another, climate change will affect your pockets; the do-nothing solution is akin to Nero fiddling while Rome is burning.  The solution is to increase the minimum wage to a living wage, of course.  If you're earning below a living wage, your employer is passing the wage difference onto government in the first place.  It's why states like Alabama continuously top the charts in per-capita federal spending.
