Clean energy

Data shows that since Obama has taken office the wages of middle and low income people have fallen but the rich have gotten richer. The reason given is that we are losing high paying manufacturing jobs and gaining low paying service jobs. Obama supporters say this is not his fault but it is just the way the economy is changing. I disagree. There is an entire energy industry ready to explode but Obama has chosen instead to promote wind and solar programs that have not caught on. If he would open government lands to oil and gas exploration the economy would grow with high paying manufacturing jobs. In addition the amount of CO2 going into the atmosphere would decline as we move from coal to oil to natural gas. The President keeps preaching how much he is concerned about income inequality but he refuses to allow the energy industry to grow. It cannot be because he is concerned about climate change because natural gas is much better than coal or oil. If the government had pushed the development of cars and trucks running on natural gas instead of failed solar companies the CO2 levels would be down and the economy would be growing. Moving toward using methane hydrate by pumping it from the ocean floor and replacing it with CO2 could be the answer to climate change but still Obama looks at wind mills and solar panels. I am at a loss to explain this behavior.
