Obama: The ‘Pay More at the Pump’ President

American Solutions is re-launching Drill Here, Drill Now, Pay Less for one big reason:  President Obama’s continuing war on American energy is dramatically increasing the price of gas and diesel.

House Panel Rejects EPA On Clean Air Act, Labor Bails On Obama

If you don’t believe that Obama and his administration’s over-reach on so-called climate change costs America jobs, then how to explain even Labor bailing on Obama and the Democrats?

WASHINGTON—The Obama [...]

There’s Lots of Oil in America’s Energy Cupboard

During my graduate studies, I was frequently in the miserable position of listening to the lectures of professors who loathed this country, and who were so focused on indoctrination that they had all but forgotten that their job was to provide an education. And although the desires of these professors varied one to another – [...]

Clearing-up Today’s Obama Energy Lies

Criticism continues to amass on the heels of the blog posted by the Whitehouse Wednesday boasting ‘Expanding Safe and Responsible Energy Production.” Attempting to drive home the point that, long before this current spike, their main concern rested in “increasing responsible domestic energy production – including oil and gas,” the Obama Administration engaged in a [...]

Obama’s Presser and Gas Prices: Which Time Were the Left Lying?

It may just be wishful thinking but Politico’s ‘Morning Energy’ today was dropping heavy hints they expected President Obama to use this morning’s presser to defend against any culpability of his policies in ’skyrocketing’ gas prices.

Meet the New Ethanol: Wind Blows Past Corn as Subsidy King, No End in Sight

So Al Gore has come around on the policy cancer that is ethanol, even as Newt Gingrich decides that telling the truth on this would be politically inconvenient.

Obama is AWOL in Oil Crisis

We have a major oil crisis unfolding now and where’s Obama?  He was last spotted giving aid and comfort to public union thugs in their battle against the taxpayers of Wisconsin.

How The Wave of Middle East Revolts Will Drive The US Into a Deep Economic Crises

While many people are cheering the revolts going on throughout the Middle East and shudder at the horrible violence few people are discussing the possible effect that these revolts will have on the world/US Economy.  Should these revolts continue to spike up the cost of oil, the world will be thrown into an economic crisis [...]

Reality and Obama’s Big Green Budget Boondoggle

News reports indicate (even if they often try to bury) that President Obama’s supposed austerity moves include massive increases over already-inflated spending levels for ‘green energy’ boondoggles. These are very economically harmful.

To support this move, the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, via its subcommittee chaired by the politically candid Bernard Sanders, will hold a [...]

Carbon Nation

My participation in “Carbon Nation” came about quite fortuitously. After I retired from the Army, I was working as a government analyst, looking at the tactical implications of energy security.

Cap-and-tax may be dead in Congress but the Kyoto agenda of stealth energy taxes marches on at the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Although the Clean Air Act was enacted in 1970, years before global warming was a gleam in Al Gore’s eye, and even though the statute says nothing about greenhouse gases (GHGs), EPA is now [...]
