Why is everyone so surprised about the unbelievable increase in gas prices?? There is a Cheney and Bush in the White House. There has always been a demand for gas. The populations of China and India did not triple within the same year. Obscene profits, increased dividends for Haliburton and Shell/Exxon shareholders, its all part of a the big scheme by the Bush and Cheney gang. The deception to go to war was part of the oil takeover in the middle east and the control of the oil price/barrel. George Bush was a major failure as a oil/business owner (Arbustos) and this was his only way of making his profit. As far as Cheney, its nothing but pure greed. How much more money can a person want? The sad thing is that many people suffered so that the Bush/Cheney families could benefit financially not to mention the thousands that died in Iraq. Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes.

Even if the U.S simply announced drilling intentions throughout it's borders...Oil would take a nose dive! The only way we going to stop this madness is to STOP RELYING on foreign oil!

We still, even today, zoom down the highways at 75 mph - getting even worse mileage. We don't use public transportation. We laughed at environmentalists and labeled them as crazy. We have fervently pursued a lifestyle based on consumerism which holds a contemptuous disregard for our one environment. It has taken the blatant corporate greed of oil companies to force you to rethink how you have been living. It's our fault for being depending upon their product - oil. WAKE UP AMERICA!!

The supply and demand has something to do with it but not all. I think everyone in America believes we will one day live without oil and the time is now to react. Congress has to act a lot faster and a lot harder in order to solve this issue. We need a solution to this problem now, not later. The oil execs should be ashamed and I would not want them to meet any Americans who give their last hard worked for dollar in any alley! i think this is all bs.

Maybe I'm just not awake enough, but what the hell does opening areas to drilling have to do with record corporate profits? Lowering their prices would eat into their massive profits, that's the obvious answer. What the executive was in essence saying is "I'm not answering your question, you are not in charge, now here's our demand.". GM, VW, and other automakers are selling cars in the UK that get between 40 and 80 mpg, but those cars will not be sold in the US. These are low emissions diesel and smaller engine gas powered cars. Anyone can go to the UK version of these automakers web sites to see that we in the US are being robbed. “When asked about the obscene profits, the oil executives said one reason was areas remained off-limits, and then challenged lawmakers to open more areas to drilling.”
