RUSH: Ken, Cleveland, Ohio, you’re next on the EIB Network. Hello, sir.
CALLER: Hey, greetings, Professor Limbaugh. I believe the number one item on the Romney agenda should be to make this country energy independent from the rest of the world. Because when the Middle East explodes, which is inevitable, we could see ten-dollar-a-gallon gasoline, and that’s just gonna kill us. We can see what’s happening in California. Two of the refineries went down, and their gasoline cost is over $4.60 a gallon. Now, that’s gonna kill us. We need to pay not what they pay in Europe for gasoline, we need to pay what they’re paying in Saudi Arabia or Dubai. The greatest stimulus for this country would be a dollar a gallon gasoline, and that’s what we need to strive for.
Steven Chu, don’t forget, until he got called on the carpet, actually said that he wouldn’t have a problem with ten-dollar-a-gallon gasoline. The reason that they don’t, Ken, is they’re big believers in this green energy hoax. Green energy doesn’t exist, and what semblance of it there is out there is so expensive that in a free market nobody would turn to it. But if you get fossil fuel prices up to ten bucks a gallon, eight bucks, whatever, then green becomes more attractive and with government subsidies, they could get the price of green energy lower than gasoline if gasoline prices skyrocket. My point, if there’s tumult in the Middle East that interrupts oil supplies to this country, in truth, if Obama’s president when that happens, he might say one thing, but privately it’s exactly what he wants.
