HIGH ENERGY PRICES are an OBAMA administration GOAL ..

n 2008, noted physicist and vocal global warming advocate Steven Chu told The New York Times, “Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe.” His goal was to increase the cost slowly, over the course of 15 years. Parity with the Europeans would have Americans paying between $8 and $10 a gallon. Shortly after his New York Times interview, Chu was appointed U.S. energy secretary and the administration started implementing his recommendations.

ll of this has happened as the retail cost of gas has risen to a national average of $4 per gallon. If the usual trends hold, that price will continue to rise throughout the summer. Some experts now predict that by the end of the season, we could be paying as much as $6 at the pump. If true, filling a 15-gallon tank will set Americans back a whopping $90.

High gas prices diminish one of our most basic freedoms: mobility. Sadly, the president views high gas prices as just another part of his plan to curtail consumption. In February of this year, Energy Secretary Chu was asked if lowering gas prices was a priority. “No,” he replied, “the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil.”
