My 2 cents...oil companies are making record profits. Exxon made more last year, then the previous 5.

We are being taken advantage of and no one at the Govt. level is willing to stick there neck out to look at it.

I have heard stories of huge reserves in the US, and how we are maintaining them to someday make the US the oil super power. Maybe this is all crap, but the person that told me travels around with big briefcases of money in Africa attempting to buy oil rights.
