Energy Secretary Chu: Goal Is Not To Lower Gas Prices

Quote from nutmeg:

In fact, he said that "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," which are in the neighborhood of $8 a gallon.

Okay, fine.

What's the point of $8 gas?

Europe pays about the same for the gasoline commodity as we do.. their extra costs are all TAXES! We have $.60-ish/gal taxes... they have $5/gal in taxes.

That's SOCIALISM for you.

Obama would love that over here.
 
Interesting note about fuel taxes, and graph. Yes, it's one year old, but tax rates appear to be about the same.

Looks pretty 'anti-socialist' to me, especially in comparison. Good point Mr. Scat.
