With the national average of gas prices hitting $3.65 a gallon, nearing $6 in some parts of the country, and poised to head even higher, Americas families are wondering when the bleeding at the pump will stop. But for Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu, those steep prices arent even a concern. In fact, he says his goal is not to get the price of gasoline to go down.
Chu delivered those stunning remarks in testimony before Congress yesterday. When Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) asked Chu whether its his overall goal to get our price of gasoline lower, Chu said, No, the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy.
