FACT: 90% of lower 48 production is found by independents like myself. You wanna put about 500,000 people out of work.
You REALLY want to make a difference? Start attcking the Sierra Club, Natural Resources Defense council, et al. They are far more responsible for lack of supply (the MAIN reason prices jump) than any other factor.
You don't like speculators, then write your Senator and PLEAD with them to nationalize the business. Nothing like a gov't run program to show success.
Well said. Its tough to explain that gasoline (based on the dollar's value) is still cheaper today than 1976/77.
