When Clinton was prez the price of oil was very stable at 25/bbl. It started going up at the end and continued going up under bush to $100/bbl and then spiked to $140 in July 2008 which crashed the economy.

Obama pushed the US into the 21st century and renewables

Trumps wants to go back to coal and the 1950s. I keep waiting for Trump to suggest that we go back to burning leaded gasoline.

The future is sealed, renewables will continue to get cheaper and fossil fuels will wane.

Propaganda and BS. So called renewables are uncompetitive without massive subsidies.

Drilling and Frakking has massively increased US energy output. Within a few years we will be entirely self sufficient....and horizontal drilling and frakking did not need massive government subsidies to be developed.

The insane pay for play mortgage scheme the dems hatched crashed the economy, not gasoline prices. The problem with "renewables" is storage. Battery technology just isn't there yet.
