I guess it's only a corporate conscience thing, since in 1993 Al Gore supported raising gasoline taxes to raise it $3.00/gallon (it sold for about $1.10/gallon then), and he supported Kyoto's gasoline tax, estimated to have been $0.65/gallon. All to curb consumption and reduce pollution. So, why aren't Democrats happy about today's prices?

I think they actually are happy about it but they have to keep up the pretense of moral indignation to fools the sheeple. Intellectual dishonesty is fundamental to their core beliefs.
