Obama: "No connection between the amount of oil and gas we drill in this country and the price of gas."

KOAT - President Barack Obama spoke about his "all-of-the-above" energy policy Wednesday evening from Maljamar. Obama said his "all-of-the-above" strategy relies on producing more oil and gas, biofuels, fuel-efficient cars, solar power and wind power in the country. "I believe this all-of-the-above approach is the only way we can continue to reduce our dependence on foreign oil, and ultimately put an end to some of these gas spikes that we're going through right now," Obama said.
The president started his remarks by saying that domestic oil production in the United States has been and will continue to be a key part of his energy strategy. He also said that he was committed to drilling both on land and offshore. "Under my administration, America is producing more oil today than any time in the last eight years. That's a fact," Obama said.
But, he emphasized there is "no connection between the amount of oil and gas we drill in this country and the price of gas." Read full story here: News New Mexico
