Stop pretending gas prices are ok
Hey Big Oil,
Don’t act like you’re doing me a favor because gas prices are down $0.20 from last week. Quit crying that you don’t have enough refineries when you haven’t invested a penny in building a new refinery in the US for decades. What’s your excuse du jour? Hurricane ____? War in ____? Holiday driving? Labor strike? Global warming? El Niño?
The truth is, the last thing you want is for gas to be affordable; and you certainly wouldn’t want the supply to be greater…that might dent your record profits.
You know when I’ll be happy? I’ll be happy when we’re all pumping hydrogen technology that we invented; and all of those hostage-taking, turban-wearing third-world countries turn back into the useless piles of dust that they are. Until then, I’ll settle for $1.20 a gallon.
