Steven Chu, the Nobel Prize-winning energy chief for Obama. &#8220;White House Wants to Keep Gas Prices High.&#8221; Chu actually said so! And he said it before but he said it in congressional testimony. He said they liked the prospect of high gasoline prices because if furthers the development of alternative fuels. They just came out and said it! &#8220;With the national average of gas prices hitting $3.65 a gallon, nearing $6 in some parts of the country, and poised to head even higher, America\u2019s families are wondering when the bleeding at the pump will stop. But for Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu, those steep prices aren\u2019t even a concern. In fact, he says his goal is not to get the price of gasoline to go down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_59885\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaGasPrices585.jpg\"\/><BR\/>You know what his goal is? The price of batteries to come down. That\u2019s what he said.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019re investing in companies in Korea, Japan, and the United States to come up with new battery technology for your automobile. They want to get the price of a battery down from $40,000 to $25,000 or $30,000. (interruption) What do you mean, &#8220;What the hell difference does it make to me?&#8221; This isn\u2019t about you! It\u2019s not about the American consumer. It\u2019s about the regime. It\u2019s about their transformation; it\u2019s about their transformation of the country. They don\u2019t want the gasoline price to come down! They like it being high, and he actually admitted it yesterday. His goal is not to get the price of gasoline down.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_59890\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ChuGasPrices.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;Chu delivered those stunning remarks in testimony before Congress yesterday. When Rep. Alan Nunnelee (R-Miss.) asked Chu whether it\u2019s his &#8216;overall goal to get our price\u2019 of gasoline lower, Chu said, &#8216;No, the overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil, to build and strengthen our economy.'&#8221; So, no. The &#8220;overall goal is to decrease our dependency on oil,&#8221; and that\u2019s why we\u2019re not gonna okay the pipeline and that\u2019s why we\u2019re not gonna increase drilling or reduce the moratoriums in the Gulf and that\u2019s why we\u2019re not gonna drill in Alaska. Because we don\u2019t want more oil! We don\u2019t want an-oil-based economy. We don\u2019t want an energy policy based on oil. We want it based on batteries, which means they want an energy policy based on coal. Because what do you charge a battery with but electricity, which is generated by coal at your neighborhood power plant.<\/line><\/p>\n<p>This is who we are dealing with.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: &#8220;White House Wants to Keep Gas Prices High.&#8221; Have you heard about this?
