The energy secretary-designate, the professorial Steven Chu, in 2008 had unwisely voiced a widely held but wisely unspoken progressive belief that, Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe -- or about $9 a gallon. Just two years ago, when up for re-election, Obama reminded Americans, We cant just drill our way to lower gas prices. Oilmen, not the government, returned hundreds of billions of dollars to American consumers. They, not Ivy League experts and Wall Street grandees, kick-started the economy where federal subsidies had failed to. They, not the policies of the Obama administration or the rhetoric of Secretary of State John Kerry, weakened our enemies.
