Obama's entire career has been anti business and particularly anti energy.
"Harper looks at the Obama Administration and understands that they have no intention of ever increasing the supply of proven energy sources."
Hasn't this been Obama's "energy policy" all along? Squeeze oil and go solar and wind. Cut the supply of oil and watch the price rise to make solar and wind more economically viable. Wake up and smell the coffee, Phil. Your president's energy policy is higher energy prices through supply reduction. Look at his words, but particularly look at his actions. He closes down drilling. He refuses leases. He stalls pipelines. What does that tell you? Wake up, man.
Unlike you and I, Harper has met Obama and taken his measure. He has a large dossier on your president. Maybe he believes what is in the dossier. Maybe he believes Obama's energy policy is less energy supply. I do.
Now to answer your question. At some point enough is enough. You have to look at alternatives, or at least seem like you are looking at alternatives. Enough is enough, now. It is time for Americans like yourself to concentrate the minds of their fellow citizens on this, and many other issues. Harper is going over Obama's head and helping you concentrate those minds.
Not to mention that the Sauds have infiltrated most Western governments and are guiding as many as possible away from developing their own independent oil industry.
It’s why thr Green party exists. It’s why Green peace exists. Odds are, it’s why the the federal Liberal party of Canada and the Democrats have made enemies of the oil patch.
The Sauds contribute to them for that purpose.
