[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 360163, member: 9789"] We need to do something and it needs to be done fast! In the short term, I favor some sort of cap on the price oil companies can charge right down the line. It will take a maximum effort to coordinate our resources and develop new technology for alternative fuel resources. There are to many signs that show we could slip into a major recession or worse. The housing and energy crisis tops the list of triggers that can set this off. The latest info according to a (CNN news report) on gas station owners..... shows that some are closing and many more are thinking of closing the doors. The price to fill the in ground tanks is so high the owners can not afford to fill them. In some cases they are only making $50 -100 a tank. Less gas stations = high prices and maybe long lines and rationing! [B]We are not in a free market situation [/B]- Since when is a Cartel or Oligopoly or monopoly considered free market??? They set the price and we pay it - simple as that - it boils down to dependance and the sharks are out. We are being gouged and the country needs to flex it's muscles NOW not in 2 months or 5 months or after the election. [/QUOTE]
