Do you know the answers to these questions now?

I was not and am not making predictions that Obama's presidency will result in $6 bucks a gallon at the pump or more and destroy the U.S. Economy. That was RW'ers.

As to your question about demand. The biggest item I believe was increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

.
The president proposed wider use of natural gas, including incentives to use it to fuel fleets of vehicles such as city buses. He backed greater production of biofuels and vowed to establish at least four commercial scale refineries producing cellulosic ethanol or advanced biofuels within the next two years. He also pledged to establish higher fuel efficiency standards for heavy trucks, just as he did for passenger vehicles early in his administration.

Obama also urged oil companies to make greater use of federal leases onshore and offshore to prop up domestic oil output. A White House briefing paper said the Interior Department might shorten lease terms or use a sliding royalty rate scale to encourage speedier exploitation by companies.

President Obama calls for one-third cut to oil imports


So that is a yes.

From the same link:

.Obama has made energy a policy centerpiece. In early 2009, he reached a deal with carmakers, unions and regulators to boost automotive fuel efficiency, a measure with far-reaching effects on U.S. oil consumption, 70 percent of which goes to transportation. The 2009 economic stimulus package set aside $70 billion in grants and loan guarantees to promote energy efficiency, advanced batteries for cars and renewable energy. But Obama poured a lot of effort into winning passage of a cap-and-trade climate bill, which failed.

In case you couldn't bother to read the full report:

"In early 2009, he reached a deal with carmakers, unions and regulators to boost automotive fuel efficiency, a measure with far-reaching effects on U.S. oil consumption, 70 percent of which goes to transportation."


Republicans would have none of that government interference with the private sector would they?

Be honest.

 

[Rustic]

Not one Obama hating wingnut predictor wants to yell about how Obama's rejection of Keystone pipeline and EPA abuses and his contempt for big oil was going to lead to $5 to $6 gasoline and destroy jobs and the economy.

Where are you?

Credit Card in Northern Virginia at $1.82.

National avg at $2.04 right now.

Big oil has really made the price go down nicely...

Did he do anything to increase production onshore?

Yes.

Complaints about delays
The oil industry and GOP lawmakers have vociferously complained about delays in the approval of offshore drilling permits in recent months. But an irked administration, which had pledged tougher scrutiny of drilling applications after last year’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, fired back Tuesday with an Interior report that revived earlier claims that oil firms weren’t exploiting leases they already have.

President Obama calls for one-third cut to oil imports

The Administration ... " fired back Tuesday with an Interior report that revived earlier claims that oil firms weren’t exploiting leases they already have."

Oil firms were not exploiting leases they already had because the price of oil was so low.


RW'ers were bitching and moaning that Obama was going to increase gasoline prices and destroy the economy. How can you still think they were right.


Eat your crow!

That is all Obama doing...I forgot. Everything good on the world happens because of Obama. And you guys tell us he ain't God.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

Obama has given out more exploration permits than any other president. I recently read that his policies have led to oil/gas production that is equal to finding an entire Iraq.

The Keystone disaster shows that Obama is not in the hip pocket of the Koch's.

Obama gave them out to his buddies and bush probably denied them to his competitors. Do you see how this works?

It would be interesting to see when he handed out permits and compare it to the price of gas.

You're also failing to show anything Obama did to increase supply.

As to your question about demand. The biggest item I believe was increasing fuel efficiency standards for cars and trucks.

What did he do, when did he do it, when does it go into effect?

Obama also urged oil companies to make greater use of federal leases onshore and offshore to prop up domestic oil output.

He urged them? What did he do about the number of leases?

Republicans would have none of that government interference with the private sector would they?

I agree, CAFE standards should be repealed.

You didn't read the link I posted. I should have figured you wouldn't. I'll repost it in a few minutes.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

Toddster 12927908

What did he do, when did he do it, when does it go into effect?

That question makes no sense because your final statement in the same post is an admission that you know that Obama in 2009 reached a deal with US automakers to raise CAFE standards on cars and trucks.


Toddster 12927908

I agree, CAFE standards should be repealed.

You want to repeal what Obama did yet you wonder what Obama did to reduce demand.

Why do you contradict yourself?

 

[initforme]

I wouldn't mind seeing gas drop to 50 cents a gallon. That would be great. But big oil controls us and is out to gouge people so it won't last long cheap.
