NWO? Climate Change? Obama Energy Czar Believes Man Causes Global Warming, Wants European Gas Prices

NWO? Climate Change? Obama Energy Czar Wants European Gas Prices

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe," Mr. Chu, who directs the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in September.

Chu's views on climate change would be among the most forceful ever held by a cabinet member.

In an interview with The Post last year, he said that the cost of electricity was "anomalously low" in the United States, that a cap-and-trade approach to limiting greenhouse gases "is an absolutely non-partisan issue," and that scientists had come to "realize that the climate is much more sensitive than we thought."



The team's makeup shows that Mr. Obama plans to put a heavy emphasis on combating climate change and promoting technologies to wean the U.S. off imported oil. He is packaging such priorities as a way to boost employment and help the economy by pouring money into efficiency projects.

Dr. Chu, who currently heads the Lawrence Livermore facility, believes that Americans, in general, pay too little for electricity overall, and gasoline specifically.

He has, in the past, advocated significant increases in the prices consumers pay for their electrcity. He is a staunch advocate of nuclear energy and contends that "coal is my living nightmare."

Because of the danger of climate change, he said, the United States and other countries also need to make some urgent repairs. He said governments need to "act quickly" to implement fiscal and regulatory policies to stimulate the deployment of technologies that boost energy efficiency and "minimize" carbon emissions.

Chu's views on climate change would be among the most forceful ever held by a cabinet member. In an interview with The Post last year, he said that the cost of electricity was "anomalously low" in the United States, that a cap-and-trade approach to limiting greenhouse gases "is an absolutely non-partisan issue," and that scientists had come to "realize that the climate is much more sensitive than we thought."

He said people who said they were uncertain whether climate change is being caused by humans were "reminiscent of the dialogue in the 1950s and '60s on tobacco." (At that time, many argued that there was insufficient evidence linking smoking to cancer.)


We will find ourselves soon turning our backs on our most abundant natural resource in favor of more expensive, and largely untested, energy sources in a grand energy generation/conservation experiment.

Who will pay for this? You.
