dr. steven chu, who now serves as president obama's energy secretary, said "somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in europe." well, mr. chu, it looks like we're headed that direction. and if we continue to follow this administration's energy policies, we may get there. as a member of the senate's energy and natural resources committee, i was somewhat surprised as a suggestion was made just a few days ago that there are some who believe that there's no relationship between u.s. production of petroleum and the price of gasoline in the united states. that simply is not true, and it cannot be true. with oil being the input ingredient into gasoline, it is the precursor for gasoline, any time you do anything that cuts off or restricts or limits the supply, that's necessarily going to have an impact on the price. and it does. the fact that it's indisputable that there are other factors that also influence the price of gasoline makes it no less true that we do have to produce petroleum here at home in addition to buying it from other places in order to kee
