For years the Democrats have claimed that US gas was too cheap and the low price was causing environmental degradation and delaying the development of cost-effective alternate energy. The claimed conspiracy was that US Oil companies were conspiring to keep costs low and buying up alernative energy technologies to keep us hooked on oil. Why are they reluctant to trumpet the triumph of their policies to reduce oil exploration, nuclear energy, hydro-electric power and new refinery construction in the US? Could it be that they are too modest?
