 | Home heating oil prices up 20% from 2009...Media Silent about Obama's plans to cause energy prices to 'skyrocet'Scotty Starnes | January 31, 2011 at 3:10 PM | Tags: energy policy, fuel oil, heating oil, liberal media, President Obama, skyrocketing energy prices | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-4iN |
This may be the only promise President Obama hasn't broken. He explained, during his run for the presidency, that his energy plans would cause energy prices to 'skyrocket.' He also said he would bankrupt the coal industry,' which also would cause energy prices to skyrocket since coal produces about 50 percent of our energy.
Heating oil fuel, used by many in the northeastern part of the U.S. to heat their homes, has seen a 20% increase in prices since 2009. Whose energy policy is to blame? Nobody in the liberal media is blaming Obama.
I am.
From the Union Leader:
This winter has brought a perfect storm -- a tough economy, very cold weather and high fuel prices, according to Louise Bergeron, energy director for Southern New Hampshire Services.
In fact, with home heating oil prices 20 percent higher than a year ago, some needy families have already exhausted benefits, according to the state Office of Energy and Planning.
"I'm getting a lot of calls from elderly people who are very concerned because they have already expended their full fuel assistance benefit, and we're still in January and it's still very, very cold," Bergeron said.
As of Jan. 21, there were 7,170 households across the state that had used up their $1,125 maximum fuel assistance benefit. An elderly couple Bergeron spoke to last Thursday told her they were forced to set the thermostat at 55 at 7 o'clock in the evening, even though one of them is very sick.
Obama said that Americans can't set their thermostats on 72 all the time.
"I cautioned her not to do that," she said, "that we would find a way to help if and when they needed another delivery, because I was concerned for the person who was very ill.
"You know, that shouldn't happen in our world," she said. "We don't want our grandmothers to freeze."
No, we don't but Obama does.
