Don't dispute that there are costs. The question is more along the lines of understanding the trade-offs. We could shut down all coal power plants today, but do we want too? As Obama constantly talks about "taxing the rich", isn't this going to be a "tax" on every American - a regressive "tax"? I guess he can socialize the system and make sure every American has a certain portion of energy at no costs - except for the "rich" of course.
