MURRAY: War on coal escalates - Washington Times
"Faced with rising gas prices, President Obama recently outlined what he calls an “all-of-the-above” energy policy “that develops every available source of American energy - oil, gas, wind, solar, nuclear, biofuels and more.” You may notice something missing there - coal, America’s most abundant and affordable fuel source. The administration’s “all of the above” strategy is anything but." ... http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/mar/30/war-on-coal-escalates/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&utm_medium=RSS

Washington Post: As gasoline prices rise, Obama's ratings fall
Monday, March 12, 2012 12:15:18 AM |
NEWS ALERT | ||
As gasoline prices rise, Obama's ratings fallDisapproval of President Obama's handling of the economy is heading higher — alongside gasoline prices — as a record number of Americans now give the president "strongly" negative reviews on the 2012 presidential campaign's most important issue, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. Increasingly pessimistic views of Obama's performance on the economy — and on the federal budget deficit — come despite a steadily brightening employment picture and other signs of economic improvement, and they highlight the political sensitivity of rising gas prices.

White House rushes to define Keystone message ahead of GOP - The Hill's E2-Wire
The White House is working to prevent President Obama’s rejection of the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline from becoming a political liability in an election year that will be dominated by jobs and the economy.
White House and campaign officials are emphasizing Obama's energy record in broad strokes -- highlighting steps the administration has taken to encourage oil and gas development and investments in clean energy. Those steps, the officials say, create far more jobs than approval of Keystone would have.
The decision Wednesday to deny TransCanada’s Keystone permit has further united Republicans around a common message: Obama is a job killer." ... http://thehill.com/blogs/e2-wire/e2-wire/205655-white-house-rushes-to-define-keystone-message-ahead-of-gop

U.S. Department of State: Denial of the Keystone XL Pipeline Application
Since 2008, the Department has been conducting a transparent, thorough, and rigorous review of TransCanada’s permit application for the proposed Keystone XL Pipeline project. As a result of this process, particularly given the concentration of concerns regarding the proposed route through the Sand Hills area of Nebraska, on November 10, 2011, the Department announced that it could not make a national interest determination regarding the permit application without additional information. Specifically, the Department called for an assessment of alternative pipeline routes that avoided the uniquely sensitive terrain of the Sand Hills in Nebraska. The Department estimated, based on prior projects of similar length and scope, that it could complete the necessary review to make a decision by the first quarter of 2013. In consultations with the State of Nebraska and TransCanada, they agreed with the estimated timeline.
On December 23, 2011, the Congress passed the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011 (“the Act”). The Act provides 60 days for the President to determine whether the Keystone XL pipeline is in the national interest – which is insufficient for such a determination.
The Department’s denial of the permit application does not preclude any subsequent permit application or applications for similar projects.

President Obama Should Not Use Oil Spill Crisis To Push For Job-Killing Nat’l Energy Tax
http://republicanleader.house.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=190549
Washington, Jun 15 - In his address to the nation tonight, President Obama will reportedly use the Gulf oil spill crisis as a rationale to impose a job-killing national energy tax. To be sure, a feeding frenzy of liberal special interests is chomping at the bit, hoping the president will seize on his chief of staff’s philosophy that you “never let a good crisis go to waste.” House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH) offered the following comment in advance of tonight’s Oval Office address: “President Obama should not use this crisis as an excuse to impose a job-killing national energy tax on struggling families and small businesses. Americans want the President focused on stopping the leak and finding out what went wrong, not on twisting lawmakers' arms on Capitol Hill to pass more costly, job-killing legislation.” President Obama has laid the groundwork for a renewed national energy tax push, even polling the issue in search of a political advantage: “Obama calls on Congress to heed oil spill’s ‘wake-up call’ for emissions bill. … President Obama implored a reluctant Congress today to pass a comprehensive energy and climate bill this year in response to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.” (E&E News, 5/27/10) “Obama seeks to whip up support for energy legislation on back of spill.” (The Hill, 6/14/10) “…Obama’s pollster last week gave briefings to key leadership and committee staffers, as well as Democratic chiefs of staff, on the potential wonders a climate change bill could do for the party’s electoral prospects this fall.” (Roll Call, 6/15/10) “Obama Says He’ll Push For Clean Energy Bill. … Seeking to harness the deepening anger over the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to the advantage of his legislative agenda, Mr. Obama promised to find the lagging votes in the Senate to get the climate change and energy bill passed this year.” (New York Times, 6/3/10) “President Obama to seize on Gulf oil crisis to push for climate change legislation.” (The Examiner, 6/14/10) “Joel Benenson, a pollster for the Democratic National Committee and Obama’s presidential campaign, argues in a new briefing for top Capitol Hill officials that a comprehensive energy bill ‘could give Democrats a potent weapon to wield against Republicans in the fall.’” (Politico, 6/14/10) In the year since House Democrats forced through their much-maligned national energy tax bill, the nation’s economic situation has only grown more precarious. Americans need real solutions to create jobs, lower energy prices, and clean up the environment, but President Obama’s national energy tax is a recipe for increasing the burden on families and small businesses and shipping more American jobs overseas. The national energy tax was “left for dead” on the merits, and it should stay that way
