Thanks to Google: > In a sign of one major internal difference, Mr. Chu has called for gradually ramping up gasoline taxes over 15 years to coax consumers into buying more-efficient cars and living in neighborhoods closer to work. > > “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. > > **But Mr. Obama has dismissed the idea of boosting the federal gasoline tax, a move energy experts say could be the single most effective step to promote alternative energies and temper demand.

It’s clear Obama already voiced his objection to Steven Chu’s theory. Until I see more solid proof of this being realistic, I’m not going to get my panties in a bunch over a scaremongering article on Fox News.

Even if this is correct, I do not agree with his appointment. It is clear where his agenda is after comments about taxing the fuck out of fuel. That is not the kind of thinking I want in that position no matter what stance Obama takes on it. ---
