You are aware that oil and its byproducts are sold on the global market and the prices are set by the free market, something Republicans like to champion. So unless you are willing to admit that the free market has failed and that commodity prices should be set by the government then there is little that can be done by any one person or party in Washington to lower energy prices in any meaningful and long term way (well there is one solution and we'll get to that). If anything the US is in a much better position than most other countries when it comes to energy supply and pricing and there is only one party working on a long term solution to the global energy problems in the form of renewables and that party is certainly not the Republican's. So if you really want to address the energy problems then you should be happy with who won because that's one more person in Washington working on an actual solution, Fung would have just been another Republican working for the oil lobbies and an obstacle rubber stamping legislation working against renewable energy.
