Sen. Jim Inhofe tells Newsmax that the Obama administration is "trying to kill oil and gas" by refusing to allow the United States to exploit its abundant natural resources in an effort to drive the country toward green energy.

The Oklahoma Republican also says that calls for tapping into the Strategic Petroleum Reserve are a "copout" to divert attention from that refusal...

..."This administration admittedly is trying to kill oil and gas. It's just mind-boggling," Inhofe declares.

Energy Secretary Steven Chu, "speaking on behalf of the president, said somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe" — I checked today and it's $7.80 a gallon — so we won't buy as much and then all this wonderful green energy is going to come in.
