Doug Ross @ Journal lists the ways the Obama EPA, extremists are
...using their positions to damage nearly every industry in America. That is their intention. That is their goal.
Including this (read the whole thing).
• Energy Secretary Chu Embraces High Gas Prices, Again: "This weekend, Energy Secretary Steven Chu appeared on Fox News Sunday and host Chris Wallace asked him about his desire in 2008 for Americans to punitively pay more at the pump in order to wean them off of gasoline. Shockingly, Chu did not walk back his comments as he has attempted to do in the past. In fact, he embraced the strategy noting that his focus is to ease the pain felt by his energy policies by forcing automakers to make more fuel-efficient automobiles."
Seeing that their policies are making is increasingly leas likely that Obama will serve a second term, I'm working on the theory that they are trying to do as much damage as they can while they are in power.

The most amazing thing to me about Mr. Obama, Mr. Chu, and others is that they don't seem to care that people are pouring their hard earned money into their gas tanks instead of spending it at the local restaurant and movie theatre. Do they care that it impacts their ability to pay their mortgage, or decisions about furthering their education, or whether they can still afford tuition to that private school for their child.
Keeping the gas prices high by cutting American production, along with the very real concern for greater electricity costs as the EPA swings into high gear to put the squeeze on coal fired power plants, there is less and less disposable income for the average family. When Obama said that the cost of electricity will skyrocket, who does that help?
Whose interest is being served here? Certainly not the middle class who bears the brunt of these costs, nor the poor who can't afford to buy a car that gets good gas mileage.
The question for me remains why? How is my life better if the cost of gas and power goes up. It just seems if people are making these decisions, there has to be a good reason, and I haven't heard it.
