$16/gallon is right about where Obama wants our gas prices to be. Yep.
I've been putting this sticker on gas pumps:
"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the [$8-$10/gal] levels in Europe." - Barrack Obama's Energy Secretary Steve Chu. Had enough yet???

Is there any Congressional oversite left in the USA? Where are the muckrakers or has Obo put a target on anything good for America?
To: Hojczyk
The US military should be drillin’, baby, drillin’ in Afghanistan.

Solazymes partner in the biofuel sale is Dynamic Fuels. What a couple of dummies. Didn’t they realize that they were dealing with the Food Stamp President’s corrupt administration? Hell, if the Justice department can run guns, deal in sex trafficking, launder money, etc., the Dept. of Agriculture could have got these two dummies at least $40 a gallon with $10 kickbacked to Agriculture and $10 donated to the Food Stamp President’s re-election campaign. That would have left them a cool $20 per gallon.

R. James Woolsey previously was the Director of Central Intelligence and the Under-Secretary of the Navy, and pioneer in the clean energy sector; TJ Glauthier [you know] & Donald Kennedy, former head of the Food and Drug Administration [FDA] all on Solazyme's Strategic Advisory Board
But hey, Newt, Inc. hires out as a government expert/ paid adviser..and he's described across the media as on the take. Yup, they're all crooks.

Green Energy is the Trojan Horse for corruption
To: Hojczyk
You wont be surprised to learn that a member of Obamas presidential transition team, T. J. Glauthier, is a strategic advisor at Solazyme, the California company that is selling a portion of the biofuel to the Navy. Glauthier worked shock, shock on the energy-sector portion of the 2009 stimulus bill. Gangsters.

bad stuff except when you consider that fuel delivered to afghanistan costs about $400@gallon.
It will be too late for the afghan war but at some time in the future it will be cheaper for the military to grow their own fuel when they have a base—then to have it delivered.

Yes I thought of the “Teapot Dome” scandal in the Harding admin. immediately.
This corruption needs to bring down this Obamanation.

The corruption never ends.
When you drive off the grounds of the US Naval Academy, you pass a fleet of electric vehicles parked in a lot by Gate 8. This is part of the Federal Government, through the DOD, subsidizing these green vehicles that nobody else wants.
Every year for the last 5 years or so, training cruises at the Academy have been curtailed because of the high cost of fuel for their Yard Patrol boats.

Didn’t a story on algae based fuel being used in one of the last Spruance class DD’s just come thru FR??? Bout a month ago???
That looked to be very promising...
Those LM2500’s can be a bit twitchy at times...
But they seemed to tolerate this stuff...
