Energy is an essential to all segments of the marketplace. Its required to keep the nation and its defense establishment operating. The ripple effects of expensive energy can destroy our economy, undermine our national defense and erode our lifestyle.

Its doing it now.

Having to pay high prices for the product to the producers is bad enough, but having a legion of scalpers intrude themselves as middle-men in the form of speculators is despicable.

These are the kind of people who would be involved the black market and war profiteering under other circumstances.
Equating them with honest businessmen, capitalists, etc, who create jobs and wealth is an error.

They produce nothing but misery and I despise them.
