Do you think China will pay less than market if we regulate the oil prices? Hmm? How do we do that when this country and the oil companies do not set the price of oil? If it was the oil companies manipulating the price we would be getting all China's and India's money too! Are China and India or any other country claiming oil companies are the culprit or are they simply scapegoats because it is simple, easy to point to the Shell sign? Something we can see and hate!

Deregulation is what gets us into these messes. Enron and others were able to manipulate the supply of energy to CA in order to jack prices up. That history is fact. Sorry, Gray Davis was what screwed the people of California. 'corporations will always act in their own self interest'. In a free market system, there is competition to "regulate" the extremes of corporations. Govt intervention has brought us to where we are today, therefore how can govt be the solution?
