The oil business doesn't share its secrets with the public, consumers or even the US government. During WWII, the Petroleum Institute (I believe that's its name) was formed by oil CEO types to help with the war effort on a non-partisan neutral basis. Dick Cheney was one of those CEO's. They are supposed to provide the government with accurate oil data but this is VOLUNTARY. Something big happened once Bush-Cheney got nominated and for the first time the Institute was firmly in one camp and actively out to beat Gore. Their website was actively promoting deregulation a la Enron. Their huge secret power was used in conjunction with new market-fixers like Enron to do some vasy nasty things. The energy prices all shot up at the same time across the board. Bush-cheney lied about why it was happening and promised to fix it if they were elected. They lied on both counts. Some type of gigantic collusion took place in secret and fix the markets. Some 100 billion was gouged. California was particularly hard hit, probably for political reasons. If you don't believe this then why wont Cheney hand over his energy papers from that period? And why did the energy crisis suddenly end and be replaced by an energy glut the very day after Jeffords switched parties giving Dems subpoena powers? I asked a top Democratic State Senator about this once and he said "It was Bush Cheney, the whole thing. We just can't prove it yet.". Now you can believe him or not but Enron was Bush's #1 contributor and Ed Gillespie was paid 600 K and given 5 million in TV ad money to cover up the crimes. Now at least we know Enron was guilty of massive fraud. That's the tip of the iceberg though.
