I also think it's at least partly an artificial problem the Oil companies are creating to drive up their profits.
Let's face it, when was the last time you went to a gas station to find a "out of gas today" sign?? There is plenty of gas out there. |
That's exactly the problem! It's not a lack of crude, (but available oil is running out, don't waste it, please)
the current high price is lack of refining capacity.
AND a lack of government enforcement of 'gouging' laws.
Exxon begs the government for relief of "market constraints" that restrict their business and yet their after tax profits were up 44% last year. |
