Many U.S. media reports about President Obama’s push to increase U.S. oil production, blame it on the people’s demand for lower gas prices.

The problem with that argument is that world demand for oil products is so high that even if the U.S. can increase oil production, it will never be able to increase it enough to bring down prices.  That means the real reason for increasing U.S. oil production is to take advantage of high oil prices.

Is it possible that Obama is going back on his clean energy promise, because the United States is in so much debt, that he’s had to make a deal with the oil companies to give them access to oil rich areas, in exchange for bailing out the U.S. government?
