Sure. Another conspiracy theory in the making.

Hey. If he’s trying something that might stand even a snowballs chance of helping the price come down, I’m happy. No matter what drug he is or isn’t on, or what party he's in.

Yesterday, I bought 7500 gallons of AvGas, and there was nothing “happy” about it.

Gotta try something.

I have yet to see any station run out of gas. Has anyone on this forum seen a shortage or lack of supply?

What is the definition of shortage? Seems to be plenty to go around, the only shortage I see is on the consumer wallet. It's all a conspiracy to enrich big oil.

I believe the Saudis, there is no shortage. Just massive greed.

Nothing conspiratorial about it at all. Do you think those who live in the world of corporate oil are happy or unhappy over the price of oil?

So there is proof that Bush and Cheney manipulated the oil prices for his buddies to get a kickback?

I have no idea what the deliberate plans were since the energy policy meetings with industry leaders were held in secret. But I never suggested there was a deliberate plan to manipulate oil prices. What I think is that Cheney and Bush are deeply socialized within the oil industry. When they took public office, the slate was not wiped clean. The values according to which they had judged the world for decades were still in their minds. High oil profits are good, low oil prices are bad.

Oil is 6x as expensive since they took office. Gas is almost $4.00 a gallon.

How much proof do you need.

Oil is $120. So it was $20 a barrel in 2000?

Well, I'd like to see something that would say stand up in a court perhaps?

Happy would be an understatement. Rolling over in jubilation might come close.
