John - look deeper into that quote
"Somehow, we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe."
That's from Steven Chu in Sept 2008. What was Dr. Chu doing at the time? Working as Obama's Secretary of Energy? Nope. Obama was campaigning for President, and Chu was a professor at Berkely.
So you're not quoting President Obama directly, nor are you quoting any of his cabinet members. You're just making yourself look silly.
Chu and Obama have consistently pursued an "all of the above" energy policy while actually in office and enacting policy. They have never wavered from a pro-nuclear position, even after Fukushima. They have never wavered from a pro-offshore-drilling position, even after Deepwater Horizon. And, if anything, their position on fracking has become more friendly to industry. It seems reasonable to point to Obama's significantly pro-fracking 2012 SOTU speech, followed by proposed drilling standards so industry friendly that they were endorsed by the Wall Street Journal (!), as the beginning of the end of the "fractivist" movement.
So John, perhaps get off that high horse and do a little research before you try to portray Obama and Chu as having drunk the sort of kool aide Nelder is pushing here. People are lazy - yourself included.
