Obama is trying to force the United States into a "green" technology that they can't afford and don't want. Wind power is 17 cents compared to 5 cents for coal. The artificial price increase is essentially an Obama Tax. At the present time, this tax on Americans from Obama's de facto moratorium is about a dollar a gallon.
Even more frustrating for many is the scant attention that the media has given the story. Less than 1% of all news coverage connects the price increases to Obama's moratorium. It seems the media is more interested in connecting rising gas prices to oil speculators, greedy oil companies, and unrest in Egypt. The reality is none of these issues would be substantially relevant to the price of gas at the pump if the US developed its own fossil fuels. Alaska alone has enough oil for 100 years.
The Obama administration has consistently blocked production and drilling in the United States at every turn. Only 6 permits have been approved, and past projects that were in progress when Obama took office have been suspended. The Obama administration will not allow Americans to develop their own resources and wants to perpetuate the dependence on foreign oil.
The windmill on the capital to generate energy from the hot air in Congress was a nice touch!
Thank you Congressman Don Young for your work on HR 1231! I wonder how Senator Murkowski will vote when it reaches the Senate?
