Chu: Energy Dept Working To Wean U.S. Off Oil, Not Lower Gas Prices
In 2009, Mitch McConnell asked that the Senate consider a bill to allow offshore drilling if gas prices rise but then Sen. Ken Salazar objected to the proposal. McConnell then asked if the bill could be triggered when gas reaches $4.50 per gallon, then $5 per gallon, then $7.50 per gallon, and finally $10 per gallon. All the prices were objected to. Then Senator Salazar was subsequently promoted to the position of Secretary of the Interior.
