Gas prices, whose fault?

The Reader's Voice
Dixon Telegraph

When we ask, "Why does gas cost so much?", we don't
need to look at the prices of ketchup and other
commodities (3-21).

We need to be asking why the EPA stands in the way of
domestic drilling. And why the NRC is standing in the
way of nuclear power to replace coal and gas-fired
generators. And why no new refineries have been built
recently.

Let's ask why OPEC is controlling the amount of oil
being marketed. And why US "energy policy" results in
sending lots of dollars to Muslim tyrants who fund
Islamic terrorism.

We also need to be asking why the general public
continues to accept junk science ("conservation is the
way to clean the air"; "man is the main cause of global
warming"; etc.).

And why do we accept the idea that caribou, otters,
trees, and other forms of life are more important to us
than human life? And why do we let burocrats enforce
their own socialist/fascist agenda to cripple the best
nation on earth? Why let capitalism-haters determine
the market price of gas?

Maybe if we would face and answer these questions
properly, we would learn why gas prices are so high,
and what to do about it.
