You have a regime which by design was driving up the costs and uses of energy the most a basic resource because it suits its socialist matrix. What’s even worse is the massive corrpution resulting from that regime doling out tons of funds towards its campaign donners for so called alternate forms which don’t work or are laughingly inefficient . That’ got a pass by the Romney campaign and a huge mistake because this policy affected everyone. It was a bread a butter issue affecting all Americans.

One can take a good guess that those who are in the northeast after hurricane Sandy who were effected and are still left in the dark, without fuel will take a good long hard new look of hydrocarbon fuels.
Yes, those " GREEN " energy technologies are laughable and probability won't mature for a long time.
If the " GREENIES " want to help mature those " GREEN " energy technologies they can use the current technologies, the current use of hydrocarbon fuels to help fund and pay for the research by relaxing some of the regulations, taxes and let the economy and the new OIL BOOM flourish.
