Obama caught in oily energy lies

Supply matters. Even Obama and the anti-drilling Democrats have acknowledged that increasing supply brings down prices. But they don’t want the economic boost and jobs from more drilling to happen in America.

The BLS’ new category of “green goods and services” uses an arbitrary and expansive definition to inflate its numbers, but even if the accounting made sense, the category would still be useless for policymakers. If the government really wants to help with job creation, it should just get out of the private sector’s way.

Krauthammer: Obama shuts down coal industry, kills jobs, raises electric rates – offers algae

Obama warned us in 2008 that under his plan “electricity rates would necessarily have to skyrocket.” He also told crowds that he would ask Americans to “sacrifice” by paying higher energy costs and higher gas prices. America had a collective brain freeze in electing Obama in 2008. Will we let it happen again?

Western States Tell Washington To Get Off Their Lawns

Even if the federal government only partially lost its land-baron status in the West, the states would ramp up their energy production on the tracts that would be back under their stewardship. That would mean economic growth, a spike in jobs and increased government revenue in those states. – IBD Editorials

Joe the Plumber to Obama: “stop currying favor with environmental extremists, and start supporting energy policies that benefit all Americans”

Instead of embracing fantasy energy policies, President Obama needs to step into the real world. He should welcome expanded development of our vast oil and natural gas resources, increased oil imports from Canada, and the lower fuel prices this would bring.
