Why do democrats promote outrageous energy costs for middle class Americans?

Question

Google search Obama saying, "Under my plan, energy prices would necessarily skyrocket" and watch him actually say that (in September, 2008).  

-6/8/11 U. S. News:  “Two new EPA pollution regulations will slam the coal industry so hard that hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost, and electric rates will skyrocket 11 percent to over 23 percent, according to a new study based on government data.

-Go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF7Qm31LIDM and see Obama say, “If someone wants to build a new coal-fired power plant they can, but it will bankrupt them because they will be charged a huge sum for all the greenhouse gas that’s being emitted.”

-12/19/11 CNBC News: It's been 30 years since gasoline took such a big bite out of the family budget [when considering the percentage of the average family’s income]

Isn't it their way of taxing us in order to force their radical version of environmentalism on all off us?

They want all electric cars that most of them cannot afford to purchase.

I love the way you mention gasoline and taxes in the same post, you do realise that gas in the US is heavily subsidised which is why it so cheap compared to most other countries. You know who subsidises it? The government. Another word for subsidised gas might be 'welfare' I thought you guys hated the idea of welfare but you're perfectly willing to accept it when it comes to gas.
