Oh hey, it's this story again. I know, the date says today, but this exact same story was going around many months ago. All they did today was rewrite it slightly to include stuff about the oil spill. Stupid.
Ok, here's where it gets things wrong:
1) Obama never proposed an increase in gas prices to $7/gallon. This is a Harvard study, not an Obama administration study.
2) The study seems to assume that the only variable you change is the price of gas. Of course, I can't be sure because the NYpost fails to link to that study.
Americans will just have to get used to higher gas prices,they have been used to very low prices for decades,those days are coming to an end.
Not to bash the source but the NYP is a murdoch affiliate. His criticism of alternative energy jobs is nothing new. Also see: FOX News, Wall Street Journal. Is it Murdoch's opinion on gas and green jobs, or your own well researched one?
The New York Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch.
News Corporation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second sentence after the subheading "Moving into the United States"
Also I was referring to the Kerry paragraph where he talks about the bill and jobs. Sorry for the confusion
Attack the messenger FAIL

So Murdock personally approves every word of every article in all his media holdings? This article is more about Obama using the oil spill to push more environmental taxes on us. This will raise the cost of everything. If you buy it a truck delivered it and you are paying for the transportation costs. Fuel doubling will greatly increase the cost of everything
Mesenger matters. They are not all created equal. Someone addressed this story quite well earlier:
If this person is correct, the source may well be questionable.
Can you prove the gas price will go up to $7/gallon?
Wrong this article shows how Obama is pushing cap and tax using the oil spill as an excuse
No,no, no we don't.Americans will just have to get used to higher gas prices,they have been used to very low prices for decades,those days are coming to an end.
Wanna bet they will sell it with a...
Europe is paying 1.45 Euro per liter at the moment.
5.90 Euro per gallon... $7.30 by today's exchange.
Odd they picked 7.00 as a number?
Not really.
They're a bunch of Euro wannabe's.
BTW... 75% of the price is... Taxes.
No,no, no we don't.
Drill baby drill... where it makes most sense... and drill tons... so we drive prices down and keep them down.
We have tons of oil in areas that are easier to access than where the government has pushed the companies.
Let's get it.... first we have to eject the enviromaniac pandering nut jobs running Congress.

This is exactly what Obama wants. Surely, no one really thought he was trying to help the country?
You are really high aren't you? WHat makes you think China, India and Europe are doing anything to push toward other fuel sources? Not when China is starting 2 new coal mines a month. They are all huge oil consumers. You are living in a fantasyland.
China is investing pretty heavily in solar power, producing 30% of the world's solar panels, and already has about 17% of its electricity coming from renewable sources.. Europe already has high gas prices, they already have a strong incentive to switch. 35% of India's new energy sources are solar or wind and they plan to institute a cap-and-trade style tax. China and India aren't stupid, they know their industrialization is not at all sustainable with just fossil fuels.
They're huge oil consumers, but not like we are. And they know that has to change. Have we accepted that?
I think you are full of ****. You got evidence for those numbers?
