$10 gas is what the enviro left wants but they don't think about how it will harm the economy and make life tougher on working people. They claim to be for the working man but sure aren't when it comes to cheap energy.Joe wrote: It seems like there are 2 choices regarding the Canada pipeline:
1. Expand refinery capacity in Montana, WY or ND and pipe it in from our friendly Canada neighbors.
or
2. Pipe the oil all the way to the gulf where the refinery capacity exist today.
Or we could ignore the US energy needs and hope the tooth fairy fills the underground tanks at the Conoco stations so they are available when we pull in to "fill up".
Or we could buy Obama's Chevy Volts! Seems like few have shelled out the $40K lately. How many of you are driving Volt, Leafs, or Chinese Codas?

And what does that mean? What was the price of gas when he made that statement....and did he say how high? I think most everyone knows that we have fairly low gas prices compared to Canada, the UK, and other European countries. That still doesn't indicate where the statement for enviro lefties wanting $10 gas came from.
DOE working to wean U.S. off oil, not lower prices
The Energy Department isn’t working to lower gasoline prices directly, Secretary Steven Chu said Tuesday after a Republican lawmaker scolded him for his now-infamous 2008 comment that gas prices in the U.S. should be as high as in Europe.

Worried Dems pressing Obama on gas prices
Congressional Democrats are ramping up pressure on President Obama to tap the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) to prevent rising gas prices from threatening the economy and their election-year prospects.
They are growing anxious that the price of fuel could reverse their political fortunes, which had been improving due to signs of growth in the economy.
Republicans have hammered Democrats on the price spike, repeatedly noting that gas prices — now at $3.72 per gallon for regular — have doubled since Obama won the White House.

How about a current remark... is 2-28-2012 a current enough statement for you?

It looks like he is CURRENTLY still sticking to his previous statement. Glad I could help. Don't thank me.
