Here's a quote from our so-called president:
"
Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity would necessarily skyrocket." -
Barack Obama
And another one: "
If somebody wants to build a coal power plant they can, it's just that it will bankrupt them because they are going to be charged a huge sum for all that greenhouse gas that's being emitted," -
Barack Obama
And here's what he said when he canceled the Keystone pipeline that has been studied for 3 years, and which would be layed through Nebraska which already has hundreds of miles of similar pipelines: "
The rushed and arbitrary deadline insisted on by Congressional Republicans prevented a full assessment of the pipeline’s impact, especially the health and safety of the American people, as well as our environment." -
Barack Obama
So, the answer is: NO. He has no interest in lowering gas prices. Faux environmentalism is way too important for that.
