Haven’t we been down this road before?
In his weekly media address, Obama announced that he will send a budget to Congress on Tuesday which hits twice the current spending levels for clean energy research and development by 2020, declaring that “rather than subsidize the past, we should invest in the future.”
[…]
“One of the greatest challenges of our time is climate change,” the US leader said.
Additionally, Obama has proposed a $10-per-barrel oil fee.
Never let a low energy price “crisis” go to waste:
Obama: Right now, gas $1.80. Gas will be low for the foreseeable future. Use this period for transition to clean energy economy.

@thehill @BarackObama has cronies he needs to pay off with more tax payer money.
