Regardless of gas prices, we should be looking for independence from fossil fuels - they're limited resources and the world will run out eventually.

He wanted expensive gas to get people to buy hybrids and EVs. Pretty self explanatory. His energy secretary talked about this before he even took office sayong we needed $4 a gallon to break out oil habit. So he did the only thing he could do to raise prices dramatically his first year in office which was shut down federal lands effectively removing 1/3 of the world's oil reserves.
