Yikes. As Obama focuses on things other than energy, notice gasoline prices inching higher. How long until they're back over $4?

Better get building nuclear power plants and converting the federal vehicle fleet to use natural gas, Mr. President. Sure, you can talk about windmills and solar panels out on your speaking stops. But lets make sure that we're doing something serious about our energy needs, okay?
