From President Obama’s transition website, Change.gov (which matches what’s on his campaign website):
• Enact a Windfall Profits Tax to Provide a $1,000 Emergency Energy Rebate to American Families.
• Crack Down on Excessive Energy Speculation.
• Swap Oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to Cut Prices.
Profits are down, so no $1,000 for you, pal. Energy speculation is basically over with the credit bubble having burst. And there’s a call to create a floor for oil prices at around $65 a barrel to make green energy sources competitive.
Change.gov needs to change its message.
