WH Agency: Target the Oil & Gas Companies

First we had Energy Secretary Chu admit that high gas prices are a good thing. Now, we have the EPA —  a darling agency of the Obama Administration — describe on video that the

 EPA’s “general philosophy” is to “crucify” and “make examples” of oil and gas companies.

The video is below.

Senator Inhofe went on to remark that

 the video provides Americans with “a glimpse of the Obama administration’s true agenda.”

That agenda, Inhofe said, is to “incite fear” in the public with unsubstantiated claims and “intimidate” oil and gas companies with threats of unjustified fines and penalties – then, quietly backtrack once the public’s perception has been firmly jaded against oil and natural gas.

Are we even surprised at this statement from the EPA? This attitude is all linked up with Obama’s current strategy of subsidizing “green energy” through the tax code. Of course, let’s not forget that Obama voted (yes, not present!) in 2005 against ending oil subsidies.  Now the oil companies should be “crucified”.
