In his time in office, President Obama has made some seriously bad proposals and decisions on energy policy, and Americans are paying the price, whether it’s in higher energy costs, wasted tax dollars, or in jobs that have been left on the table. For those who aren’t keeping track, we’ve compiled a list of the President’s ten worst energy policies:

1) Saying “NO” to Keystone XL

2) Wasting Billions on Loan Guarantees

3) Banking on Electric Car Dream Machines

4) Saying “No” to Domestic Energy Production

5) The EPA’s Regulatory Train Wreck

6) Cap-and-Trade and the Clean Energy Standard

7) Subsidies for Some, Higher Taxes for Others

8) Terminating the Nuclear Waste Repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada

9) Green Jobs Stimulus

10) Job-Killing CAFE Standards
