The oil industry cheats, pal. They are crooked. They already are deregulated. And what did they do their their freedom? They raised prices. Lied about supplies. Stonewalled regulators. Infiltrated the EPA and re-wrote climat change reports. Merged into a big fat monopoly, colluded on massive price gouging, eliminated all competition and sided with the far right chickenhawks going to war in the Middle East.

They have also conspired to attack and plunder some of our most pristine wilderness areas, including Bristol Bay the most precious fishing area in the entire world. The Exxon Valdez spill is still polluting God's other great creation Prince William Sound even 20 years later. Countless salmon, sea birds, otters, eagles and other precious wildlife has been poisoned there. The entire ecosystem has been disrupted, and Exxon got away without paying most of the damages.

Basically, you have an industry which acts as if it's above all laws. and maybe it is, with Bush-cheney-DElay making the rules. Now it's time to reverse all this, especially since we desperately need to get off oil as our primary fuel source in the next 20 years.
