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.
