Chance, "Edit: For the algebraically challenged, that would be one investigation per year for each of the last twenty years." I'm willing to bet there is an entire cottage industry within the legal profession to investigate "big oil". Must have the procedures down to a science by now - lol Over the weekend, we had several visitors from up north. Two from the logistics industry and one a truck/chassis engineer. Surprisingly, they see the problems and laugh at congress, but deep down inside, feel it isn't "their" problem. They can afford it...shrug Certainly no sense of urgency. CC

But Edwards' message may resonate especially in California, the nation's most delegate-rich state, which has perennially high gasoline prices. California, along with the rest of the country, is going to "resonate" into severe recession, or worse, if such idiotic policies are implemented. BTW, I know that some people here don't like any political interjection on this board, even when it's directly energy related. I'm thinking of starting a Politics of Energy board where policies such as Edwards' can be discussed. If anyone is interested, please let me know and I'll get it going.. Regards, JB

OT: Political: A Full Tank of Hypocrisy By Robert J. Samuelson washingtonpost.com Wednesday, May 30, 2007; Page A13 Anyone fearful of global warming should cheer higher gasoline prices, because much higher prices represent precisely the sort of powerful incentive needed to push consumers toward more fuel-efficient vehicles and to persuade the auto industry to produce them in large numbers. Bravo for higher prices! ... Americans want to stop global warming. They want to cut oil imports. They want cheaper energy. Who will tell them that they can't have it all? Not our "leaders."
