PRAISE FOR

POWER GRAB

Power Grab exposes the agenda of the Obama administration and its allies, from green jobs to the cap-and-trade energy tax as ways to cram down the Lefts long-held wish list of demands, and dream of organizing society. Horner reveals what their rhetoric means, how the schemes work and what it all spells for you if they win. Power Grab lays bare the plan to replace your individual liberties with the state, securing the Lefts dream of making decisions for you and your family: what you can drive, how you can live, and what sorts of jobs and future they deem acceptable for Americans.

MARK LEVIN, bestselling author and
nationally syndicated radio host

Chris Horner raises the red flag about the so-called green economy. Power Grab shows the dark gray economic fallacies that lie behind the bright green economic fairy tales, in a way everyone can understand, if while laughing between the tears.

DR. GABRIEL CALZADA, professor of applied
environmental economics at King Juan Carlos University

Power Grab exposes the incestuous relationships between the Obama administration and the piles of taxpayer money it wants to pipeline to the Big Green juggernaut consisting of Big Business and Big Labor. Horner shows that the green agenda isnt so much about a clean environment as it is about redistributing income from us to them.

STEPHEN MOORE, member of the Wall Street Journal
editorial board and senior economics writer

Chris Horner was right in his bestselling The Politically Incorrect Guide to Global Warming and Environmentalism. He was right in his book Red Hot Lies that exposed the cover-ups, lies, and intimidation of the global-warming alarmists. And hes right again in his new book Power Grab, which exposes what the extremists are really after: power over you, your wallet, and even your right to self-government. Power Grab is essential reading for fighting back.

CONGRESSWOMAN MICHELE BACHMANN

The jury-rigged consensus propping up the climate change-industrial complex is falling apart in no small part due to the efforts of truth-tellers such as Chris Horner. Years from now, people genuinely concerned with the environment will look back on the hysteria of this time and sadly reflect on just how much the mad rush to subsidize foolish energy choices and distort markets distracted us from genuine environmental and human concerns. Luckily, it looks as if common sense is being brought to bear on these issues and Chris book is in the vanguard of that development.

JOHN FUND, Columnist, Wall Street Journal

With mange tak to my angel Susanne
who makes all of my work possible.
And to William Christopher, Daddy loves you.

No nation has ever taxed and
regulated its way to greatness.
We wont be the first.

CHAPTER 1

HOW OBAMAS GREEN POLICIES WILL STEAL YOUR FREEDOM AND BANKRUPT AMERICA

Its the year 2015. Just around the corner, really. Barack Obamas various policies imposed in the name of energy independence, clean energy, and of course the environment are now really being felt. The mere threat of their being imposed has long since scared off investment in needed infrastructure, led to planned projects being shelved, and caused some that were underway to be mothballed. Obamas policies have locked up land and sealed off domestic resources, and enabled his green pressure group allies to do even more. Now, some industries cant even perform maintenance for fear of triggering EPA investigation.

These consequences were foreseeable. After all, investors had Europes experience with these policies to warn them. Those who can have gone elsewhere. There were plenty of countries to choose from. China. India. Just over the border in Mexico, for example. Others, like those workers who lost their jobs or were never hired to begin with, werent so fortunate.

One Monday you wake up to discover that nothing works. Each time this happens, youre a little less surprised. Still, its never easy. Though once abundant and accessible with the flip of a switch, electricity supply has failed to keep up with demand and is becoming even more scarce. Electricity, natural gas, and gasoline have all been made less available as a direct, intended result of Obama and his allies agenda. Energy is unreliable now. You know this means a cold shower: scarce or even no power means that things you took for granted are now luxuries. Those living a little further out who rely on a well and an electronic pump have got no water at all.

This is mostly an inconvenience, like how you now live in a small apartment, just as the anti-energy zealots want you to, though lack of reliable power does cause problemssuch as the elevator failing to run. This is somewhat more than inconvenient for your elderly neighbors. But the problems dont stop there. Today, youll be walking to work, too. After that last episode with the traffic lights out, well, thats no way to start your week. Besides, after Obama administration officials pursued their vow to bring our gasoline prices in line with Europeseven though our society was designed around certain freedoms and automobilityit simply isnt something you can afford on a daily basis. The sirens in the distance seem to have begun early today.

This reminds you that your sister was scheduled to have surgery tomorrow. Hospitals, like schools, and senior citizen homes, all feel the pain of these policies. More power interruptions mean her surgery will get bumped, and she will have to rescheduleagain. Soon, your doctor worries, storing blood and medicines will suffer as it does in Third World countries, whose different form of political corruption has also kept them with insufficient power.

Youve learned to buy small quantities of milk and other perishables, far more often, because theres no telling how long the refrigerator will stay cold. Besides, like the merchants, you have been forced into using smaller, more expensive units. The price of food has increased along with the price of energy, as energy is needed every step of the way as food is grown, harvested, transported, kept fresh until purchase, and then prepared.

The impacts of unreliable and otherwise insufficient energy are infinite and, to most Americans today, unimaginable. On this fictitious Monday morning without power, your life considered normal today would be a thing of the past, and nothing that could be recaptured easily. Without power, you cant use the microwave; cooking in any form is more expensive and, of course, its a different task making your familys breakfast in the early morning dark. Just as the ideologues demanded, youve been coerced into a life more like that of so many others who suffer living under the ideal of state-imposed scarcity.

Of course, just as theres little heat in winter, theres little air conditioning in summer. The power company is now able to withhold some of the energy you think you need, just as the presidents Energy and Climate Czar promised was the administrations goal. It apparently didnt occur to us to ask why a power company would want to do that. Power companies withold power when they are forced to, either by law or physical shortage. When theres not enough to go around, thanks to that agenda premised in spreading the wealth around, this is what happens.
