Oil companies are laughing all the way to the bank.

How do you figure? It's the raw material, crude oil, that is escalating in price. Who gets that money? Hint: It ain't the oil company.

I'm not stupid enough to think that with rising gas prices at the pump that the oil companies might not keep a penny or 2 for themselves. Who wouldn't. But to blame them for the core problem is just, well, ignorant.

"...But to blame them (oil companies) for the core problem is just, well, ignorant."

Too true.

The blame for ANY shortage of power, in this country, falls directly into the lap of the eco weenies and their supporters. We haven't built an oil refinery in 30 years, nor have we built one of those cheap (realtively), efficient, and nearly inexhaustable nuc-lear plants since the early 70s!
