LOL, that is the dirty little secret purcysunshine that nobody wants to talk about. Blame Saudi, Iran and Hugo for the oil price jumps everyone is paying. Then blame the big US oil companies for causing the price of oil to jump to $130 a barrel.
Then we make ourselves look even more foolish with this legislation when all we have to do to bring down world oil prices is take the USA off the world oil market by drilling for our own oil.
Force OPEC to reduce prices when we have the power to do that ourselves? Blame Canada and Mexico for charging market prices for oil when we can bring down the price to a ridiculously low level ourselves? How stupid do we think the world is?
Every one in the world knows what kind of reserves we have and that our own environmental wackos are keeping us from getting it. We deserve to pay what we are paying and even more. Like it or not, the enemy is not them, it is us.
