There hasn't been a new refinery built for thirty some odd years thanks to ridiculous regulations. Oil drillers are forced out into deeper waters which caused the difficulty in plugging that oil leak in the gulf thanks to ridiculous regulations. When will the lizard lovers learn? Never.

High energy prices are a result of Presidential failed energy policies.

If gasoline prices go through the roof, eventually pricey "green engery" will be on a level playing field price-wise.

I don't think Obama is heartbroken about the soaring price of gas, (except right before an election).

Did a District Court judge not tell Obama that he had to allow drilling in the Gulf and Obama ignored him as he does anything he doesn't want to enforce? Sure he did.

Does he allow any kind of removal of oil from public lands? Again he blew it.

I don't think that is too much of a stretch. He is going to kill all forms of energy other than green if he can manage it before he leaves office.

You wing nuts have really gone off the deep end.
Does the EPA take part with Obama in all questions of regulation of energy? Sure they do and it is them that has worked so hard to use Ethanol in our gasoline. I love the 10% kind because my car likes it but it may be time for them to back off on that stuff and look to do something for the country instead of trying to kill off all forms of energy that isn't "green".

And ten years from now gas will be double what it is now.

Any more wisdom you want to share?

Obama wants European gas prices here. That is $10 a gallon.. Obama would be thrilled to see us all on bikes because of his radical environment green agenda. Obama flys around in air force one , probably still smokes, and he is he biggest hypocrite going. Obama is taking us to this:

I'm curious, have you ever been to Shanghai?

I don't begrudge Obama flying on Air Force One when necessary, but to waste all that energy (and taxpayer dollars) for Michelle to fly in for vacation just a couple of days ahead of him was not the slightest bit environmentally friendly.

Oh, I know. We "all" have to sacrifice. What a hypocrite. [1]
