  1. Among the report’s key findings:

    Key administration officials, including President Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu have gone on record in support of higher energy prices as a means to promote “green” technology by making it more economically viable.

    Obama and Chu could go on record as favoring free gasoline, and it wouldn’t change the price at the pump one penny. Energy prices are determined by global supply and demand, not politicians’ statements.

    the Obama administration has been “aggressively suppressing” the utilization of these fuels.

    If this “aggressive suppression” actually had any effect, it would be to reduce demand, which would reduce prices.

    President Obama’s proposal to increase taxes on the energy industry…

    Tax increases proposed by President Obama …

    Hypothetical taxes that have no chance of passing the House have no effect on gas prices.

    Many of the “green” energy sources promoted by the administration “create unintended environmental, security and economic consequences,” for example, by increasing the demand for Chinese “rare earth” materials, which subsequently boosts harmful coal production because that’s where more than two-thirds of China’s energy comes from.

    Increased coal production does not increase energy prices; by increasing supply, it lowers prices.

  2. Sorry about that, here it is with better formatting:

  3. Report says:Many of the “green” energy sources promoted by the administration “create unintended environmental, security and economic consequences,” for example, by increasing the demand for Chinese “rare earth” materials, which subsequently boosts harmful coal production because that’s where more than two-thirds of China’s energy comes from.

    Jim says:Increased coal production does not increase energy prices; by increasing supply, it lowers prices.

    Reading comprehension says: That’s increased coal consumption, not increased production.

    You’re driving the wrong way.

  4. No wonder “generic republican” does so well against Obama in polling.

    Obama’s only hope is to run a low-down-dirty negative campaign against whoever the Republicans nominate. Obama can’t run on his awful economic record.
