Welcome to the free market. This is due to one thing and one thing only and that’s a energy policy hostile to oil for the last 30 years.
I agree wholeheartedly, but where I differ a bit, I feel the energy producers have in fact capitalized on this market speculation with little loyalty to America and her economic health and security.
It is ALL our responsibility to guard the security of this nation. We all share in the blame game. Consumers should do their part as well, however congress has allowed the liberal enviro nuts to run energy policy, but on the same token, corporate America has turned a blind eye as well just so the dollars will just keep on flowin.
