Investor's Business Daily explains Obama energy secretary Steven "High Gas Prices" Chu's new move against shale gas:
The safety mantra was raised once again last Thursday when Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced the appointment of a seven-member panel to study hydraulic fracturing, commonly referred to as "fracking," and come up with new safety standards that address concerns raised by environmentalists.
Why create panel of anti-energy leftists to "study" fracking at this particular point in time? IBD cuts to the chase:
We believe the safety issue is a cover for the Obama administration's ideologically driven animus toward fossil fuels and its deliberate campaign to raise energy prices — and thereby to make its favored "green" alternatives look more competitive and attractive.Bold added.
