Al Armendariz, a top EPA administrator, described his agencies philosophy of enforcing draconian regulations on oil companies as “crucifying” them.  These comments are just another example of the current administrations war on fossil fuels.  The current battle field seems to be on the oil and gas industry, illustrated by record gasoline prices and the blocking of the Keystone pipeline [...]
