He Told all the News people back in 2008 that "Under his Plan for Crap and Trade-off, Energy Prices would Necessarily Rise" and He ment they would RISE out of the Reach of MOST Americans. He has had the EPA already Shut down over 250 Coal Fired Electricity Generation Plants. Shut off all oil drilling on Government Land and Most of the Gulf of Mexico. Increased Imports from Saudi Arabia by 20%, just to force the rise in Gas Prices. If anyone thinks "The ONE" will let Cheep CNG be used for Transportation, "Their Crazy".
