Who oh whom could be against $10 a gal gasoline?

Only racist planet killers. That's who.

“Fourth, we cannot sacrifice another job to competitors overseas. China and India are among the many countries investing heavily in clean-energy technologies that will produce millions of jobs. There is no reason we should surrender our marketplace to countries that do not accept environmental standards.”
If China and India are investing heavily in clean-energy, it would seem they accept environmental standards. More proof of idiocy.
If this to combat climate change or get us off foreign oil? We can get off foreign oil if the greenies would let us drill for oil and gas, build nuclear power plants, build coal-fired power plants, build dams, build refineries, and build pipelines. We will never get off of foreign oil with all the restrictions the greenies impose.
