Is obama going to change gas prices?
We don't know yet for sure but his energy advisor, Steven Chu, has said numerous times that gas prices should be increased to help "curb global warming". In the summer of 2008, Chu stated that we needed to raise the tax on gas to get it to be the price of gas in Europe to make people drive less. The price of gas was $8 a gallon in Europe at the time. Whether Obama would attempt such a strategy is unknown. Obama has never said he wanted gas prices to be lower, even dismissing eliminating the gas tax during times of high priced gas. Obama most likely will increase gas prices, but not to the extent Chu advises. be looking for the $5.00 gallon gas this summer, the change occurring in May.
