Obama Activates Blackouts, Blocks Out The Sunlight

Blizzards have led to rolling blackouts in some TX towns as a means of conserving precious power. However, in accordance with provocateur talk-show host Alex Jones on his site Infowars, this "climate apocalypse" comes completely from the top. Jones wants his followers to believe that Obama activates blackouts of powerful industries, of the Internet via kill switch and other things he feels like crushing - allegedly. Article source - Obama triggers blackouts, says Alex Jones by Newsytype.com.
The actual account about Obama
There is an "Obama triggers blackouts" freak out that is currently going around. Death + Taxes explained, though, that it is based off of a 12 second video clip. Barack Obama was a senator from Illinois. In the clip on Info-wars, he is in these past days. It was asked of Obama what he thinks about the cap and trade legislation on carbon emissions that has been proposed. The interviewer also asked about the producer of greenhouse gases, the coal industry, and just how it would be affected. Then Senator Obama answers the question in what Jones calls the Obama administration's industrial warfare on the United States The full video can be watched on YouTube as this is taken out of context in the short clip:
"So, if somebody wants to build a coal-powered plant, they can, but it will bankrupt them because they're going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted."
After watching the full version of the interview, it is clear that Sen. Obama did not think the U.S. could suddenly function without coal energy. He was simply speaking in theoretical terms of how cap and trade could encourage coal power providers to work harder to store and re-purpose carbon emissions, rather than spewing it skyward. The idea is to motivate change, not attack a sector that provides several thousands of U.S. careers.
No cap and trade, no effective environmental laws
The cap and trade system never passed. Also, blackouts aren't triggered by the Obama administration. Why does Jones think Obama has power since the administration has already been criticized for not being able to regulate all the energy businesses?
The lack of effective environmental legislation has led to virtually unchecked industrial carbon emissions. A significant sampling of the scientific community believes this has caused real climate change, which includes the severe Midwestern blizzard. The Arctic is being warmed by all these gases. That means colder and snowier winters are to be expected for a while.
