But isn't this what you want? Higher gas prices so consumers will find it necessary to purchase more eco-friendly cars? The free market works. Socialism sux.

Govenrment-industry collusion that screws the consumer, the environment and the defensive readiness of our country sux.

Expensive gas is fine, if the profits were going where they'd do us all some good, instead of lining the pockets of Exxon and the insider politicians who invited them to the feast.

You ought to see Syriana. Slider just summarized the entire plot in a nutshell.

Exxon only had about 10% profit for the year. Not that outrageous.

[TrailBate]

Exxon makes more money than 124 of 180 countries ranked by the World Bank.

Good thing Bush gave them those tax cuts, then let them write the country's energy policy.
