Because if you don’t ruin the oil and coal industries, how ever are you going to both reward your Greenies and curb the independence of your serfs citizens?
President Barack Obama will propose a $10 per barrel charge on oil to fund clean transportation projects as part of his final budget request next week, the White House said Thursday.
The proposal — which follows the passage of a bipartisan transportation bill last year — would have difficulty clearing the Republican-controlled Congress.
Oil companies would pay the fee, which would be gradually introduced over five years. The government would use the proceeds to fund high-speed railways, autonomous cars and other travel systems, aiming to reduce emissions from the U.S. transportation system.
“By placing a fee on oil, the President’s plan creates a clear incentive for private sector innovation to reduce our reliance on oil and at the same time invests in clean energy technologies that will power our future,” the White House said in a statement.
Yes, Obama has seen our future, and it’s 1700.

Obama should just get the barrel concession. he could clean up!
I think that Congress should cut taxpayer funding on the military transports used by Der One, and make him pay for every trip he makes, at current rates charged by the commercial airlines (first-class rates, of course) out of his own pocket, for him and every member of his “official” party and press junket.
Next step would be to make him pay for the cleaning/cooking staff employed by the White House, again, out of his own pocket, just like everyone else who makes that kind of money has to. Force Sasha and Malia to clean their own damn bedrooms and M’Shell to do her own damned laundry.
And the next gott-damned time he brings up how he wants to keep guns away from people because of the risk that a law-abiding citizen is going to go shoot up a school, make him pay for his own damned personal security, too.
