Gas prices under Obama. And just the start.

But he did keep this one promise: “Under my plan, electricity prices will skyrocket”. He just shut down the largest coal mining operation in the United States:  Story here

Gas? On track with this as well. Ms Piven should be pleased.
Barack Obama attacked the oil industry and promised 5 million new energy jobs. They do think we are fools.

Now, 24 months into his term, gas prices are up 55%.
Government-funded solar companies are moving to China.

Post from Heritage:

And 4.4 million people lost their jobs in 2009. That’s the most job losses in a year since 1940.

Fact: President Barack Obama’s Energy Secretary Steven Chu wants to “figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” At the time he made the statement, gas cost $7 – $8 a gallon in Europe.
Fact: Since taking office, President Obama’s entire energy agenda has made a gallon of gas more expensive:

• Immediately after taking office in 2009, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, canceled 77 leases for oil and gas drilling in Utah.
• The EPA announced new rules mandating the use of 36 billion gallons worth of renewable fuels (like ethanol) by 2020.
• This summer President Obama needlessly instituted, not one, but two outright drilling bans in the Gulf of Mexico.
• After rescinding his outright offshore drilling ban, President Obama has refused to issue any new drilling permits in the Gulf, a policy that the Energy Information Administration estimates will cut domestic offshore oil production by 13% this year
• Interior Secretary Salazar announced that the eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic coast, and the Pacific coast will not be developed, effectively banning drilling in those areas for the next seven years;
• The Environmental Protection Agency has announced new global warming regulations for oil refineries;
• Interior Secretary Salazar announced new rules making it more difficult to develop energy resources on federal land.  H/T Commie Blaster
