Best guess: George W. Bush Bush is to blame for everything else from gas prices to not being able to get a date on eHarmony.com. And Fox News. And corporations. And people of faith. Rinse and repeat. I support high gas prices-it's apparently the only way this country will develop the will to invest in alternative energy. That said, gas prices are cyclical-prices go up in the summer-they go up when we invest in things/programs that use oil, and prices go up as the world has more developing nations. I only blame Bush for a tiny part of it-INVADING IRAQ. It caused a spike, but wars too are cyclical. It's the $10B quarterly profits that are hard to swallow more so than having to pony up an extra $20/ tank. Let's hear about all the good that is being done with oil profits! Capitalism equals quest for profits/wealth-hence prices rise in summer when people drive more-conservatives should love that, right?? Good point richclips777. Oil companies have invested little in alt energy research with their profits-instead they have chosen to line the pockets of shareholders and executives. I heard some Ivy League school MBA students are signing ethics pledges as a result of how grotesque parts of our capitalist system have become. Will we have to wait for my generation to die off to stop the madness? My opinion: Gas prices are rising and will continue to rise because of greed which is out of control in the oil industry. Most of the oil is held by people who hate us and would like us to go under. We are not drilling for more oil in our own country to counteract this. IMHO Oil companies have invested little in alt energy research with their Gas prices are rising and will continue to rise because of greed which is out of control in the oil industry. Here it's because it's the start of the tourist season. Oh I see jay, the problem is that they have your oil under their land. Also, more oil production doesn't necessarily mean lower prices in the U.S. for several reasons: Global consumption is on the rise. China and India automobile markets are exploding but they are not oil producers. Lack of refineries in the U.S. Refinery capacity has shrunk in the last two decades while demand has increased. No refineries, no gasoline. You can't pour petroleum directly to your car's tank, no matter how "sweet" or "light" it may be. Thousands of acres which may hold vast deposits of hydrocarbons in the U.S. are under the control of the oil companies yet they have not explored them. Most of these are pu... Summer-time and everyone should have plenty of cash now that all the American's got that huge Stimulus check or addition to there check. lol |
