But I thought higher gas prices were crucial in preventing CO2-induced catastrophe: Daily Kos warmist claims that the allegedly evil Kochs are manipulating energy markets to add "10-20% to prices at the gas pump"

-Unite with other constituencies fighting Koch Cash: It’s the common enemy of almost all progressive constituencies today, from labor leaders calling to keep collective bargaining rights, communities of color fighting for their voting rights, and all Americans facing cuts to social services due to austerity budgets.
... Even Tea Party territory could become a testing ground for exposing how the Kochs line their own pockets by picking the pockets of Middle America through energy market manipulation, which adds 10-20% to prices at the gas pump.
