Helping OPEC restrict supplies, in order to boost the price of oil, is one way to make “green energy” seem affordable. If you can’t close the price gap, by making “green” energy cheaper — simply make the old standbys more expensive.

In regard to $4 gallon gas, during the campaign he did say that he wished the price had not risen there “so quickly” not that there was anything inherently wrong with $4 gas.

I would say that would most likely be the case except with the conditions of the US and global economy.

Hopefully Zer0 isn't too dense to realize that cheap fuel at this time is much better than greenie weenies getting their way.

Unless the OPEC countries are heck bent on pushing us over the cliff, cheap oil is to their own benefit in the future.

Seen the layoffs announced today? Checked Bloomberg commodities prices?

Read where there's another $2 trillion of toxic paper out there the US is going to have to buy back to stabilize the USD?

But then again, when was the last time a LibDim ever done the right thing for the country other than spend their money?
