It bothers me about the more choices comment because they poured all this research and cool new tech into something that's a waste without a real power plant option. As for regulations yes, the federal government shutting downfederal lands to energy companies. This in turn cut off a huge supply so prices went way up. When they hit a certain level, fracking became economically viable and that's where the supply comes from now. Obama stopped energy companies from tapping into 32% of the world's oil reserves, natural gas, and coal. Open up these areas, allow for drilling in the Gulf by US oil rigs and not just foreign rigs, etc and we'd be at a buck a gallon again.
