The Obama administration seems to have a desire to return us to a pre industrial state, where energy is too expensive for everything but the most important uses.

One wonders if this hard to understand policy is based on a hatred of his own country, a general desire to cut the US down to size, or just a stupid and stubborn adherence to a hyper progressive belief system.

Perhaps the upcoming election will force at least a temporary change in this behavior, if for no other reason than to improve the chances of his own political survival.

From the article:

  "Obama says he is promoting clean oil technologies, and takes credit for the economic success of technologies
 which he has tried to kill, but more intelligent people can see through his endless crap. Obama's ongoing (although publicly undeclared) war against coal, oil sands, oil shale kerogens, shale oil & gas, advanced nuclear power, arctic oil, offshore oil, etc. etc. amounts to a total policy of energy starvation -- relentlessly pursued by the EPA, NRC, Interior Department, and a score of other agencies and politically controlled bureaucratic entities."
