LETTER: What's up and wrong!
The record high price of motor fuel is up and it’s wrong!
We the people have just gone through the MOST costly year on record to fuel our cars and trucks, and heat our homes. Big oil is telling us to prepare for higher fuel prices in 2012. Yet the Obama Administration remains silent as the oil companies continue raking in the mega billions, and show no sign of stopping. Energy independence is a government wet dream.
Nearly 700,000 barrels of diesel fuel and almost 500,000 barrels of gasoline is exported daily, mostly to Mexico and South America. These exports help to prop up higher prices here in the U.S.
Numerous corporations have applied to the DOE to export 12 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day. As more natural gas is sold at bargain prices overseas, prices will rise here. Welcome to price gouging 2011 and 2012 with the government fully on board.
Do you think those importers of our energy are getting better deals than Americans? I would say so but the oil corporations won’t release prices of exported fuels.
Where are the liberals that wanted to hang Bush and his oil buddies?
It seems Obama wasn’t happy killing all the jobs, he now wants us to pay more to getting to the few remaining jobs.
