Is President Obama Deliberately Trying to Drive Up Energy Prices?

Atmospheric physicist S. Fred Singer thinks so. In a blistering critique, he details many consequences of the President's energy policy and then concludes:

In his 2008 election campaign, Obama promised to make electricity prices “skyrocket.” He seems to be succeeding beyond all expectations, as a combination of White House policies is raising fuel prices. But as the cost of essential energy jumps upward, households are sliding into poverty; they can no longer afford to buy treats for the children; it’s more important to keep them from starving and freezing to death. “Skinning the cat” may be a neat way of getting around the express wishes of the Congress and the public, but it is sure to backfire against the Obama White House in the November elections.
