[QUOTE="scratch, post: 367269, member: 1674"] I was watching some show and I think it was Ben Stein that said he was in a meeting with some of these oil speculators. Most of them were ex-Enron guys, and they were laughing at the ridiculous profits they were making. I have always thought the oil industry was a big ripoff, its nothing but greed right now. The Arabs don't care if we buy from them, China and India can easily take our place as their customers. I am all for any kind of alternative sources of energy. We need to invest big time right now in nuclear, solar, wind, coal, ethanol, hydrogen, or whatever it takes to break our dependence on oil. I had already sent these e-mails to my Congressman, David Scott, and my two Senators. I got two replies back that looked like form letters. David Scott, a Democrat I will vote against, just quoted his party line that we don't need to really do anything, and more drilling won't do much good. Saxby Chambliss, one of my Senators, is all for drilling and trying to force some control over these speculators. We need to do something, there are already riots over gas prices in other parts of the world. It is mind boggling the billions of dollars we are sending overseas to these other countries, and a lot of them are not friendly to us at all. [/QUOTE]
