Mr. Chu said Thursday he feels “like I’ve been dumped into the deep end of the pool” in confronting questions about oil policy,...." he doesn’t know what the Obama administration would urge the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries to do at its meeting next month."...." “I will be speaking and learning more about this in order to figure out what the U.S. position should be"....He later told reporters on a conference call that his response to the question reflected “more of my naiveté than anything else.“

Dumb! Dumb! Dumb! I don’t know who is dumber, the American people for voting in these clowns or the clowns themselves?
This bozo Chu sounds as though he might be dumber than a sack full of hammers. To hell with Obama. He needs to check with Greg Craig to tell him what to do.
Meaning the Energy Secretery wants OPEC to rape us so we don't use oil.
He has a conflict of interest with his Global Warming bias. He'd be better appointed to Global Warming Secretery if there were such a thing.
IOW another f*ing egghead, in way over his head. Figures.
Amateur hour continues in the Obama administration.
It doesn’t matter what he says. They can and will do what ever is best in their own self interests.
It does matter what he says to most of us.
Yup. Chu's part of the 'above their pay grade' 0bama administration, all right.
“Energy Secretary Chu is clueless what he is supposed to be doing”
Chu exists to push through carbon credit trading systems. Nothing else. He is the “nobel scientist” disguise for the program.
Hey, Chu. It’s really simple. Drill the North Slope. Drill the Gulf of Mexico. You’re there to serve the whole country, not just the lunatic fringe Lefties and screw everybody else. Either you get real about US energy policy or do us all a favor and quit.

James Hansen wants Obama to just come out and admit that it is an energy tax that he wants to impose on Americans and stop beating around the bushes by calling it “cap and trade”. He says that Americans will “understand”: Some on Left Join Fight to Expose the Lie that is Cap and Trade

Yes you are right about the carbon trading. Current democrat agenda is nationalize banks, gas tax, carbon tax. Target for carbon tax is $60 per ton. Chu has hardly any background on global oil matters. He is however a member of the Pigou Club which advocates gas tax and carbon tax.
