I once bought gas from a Sinclair station in Wyoming located about 22 miles from a Sinclair refinery. Now, this was 1989 and gas, I believe was $1.02 or so....well, not at the Sinclair station, it was $2.06. Guess it cost a lot to tote it 22 miles. It's easy to blame this on the 'Greenies' because, by God, everyone needs a conspiracy theory to help them sleep at night, but it has nothing to do with the EPA. Why, if you are making record profits as an oil company, would you build more refineries to bring the cost of your product down? And we all know that oil companies are only in business because they care about us, it has nothing to do with money. What. Ever.

You are obviously bias (and so bias you are in fact laughable). Anyone who doesn't say it is the following things (ALL OF THEM) is full of crap.
More expensive to get out of the ground (Blame Greens, and Demand)
Not enough refineries (Blame Greens)
Oil companies greedy (Blame Oil Executives)
Demand is increasing (Blame China and India)
So if you are Green, DO NOT think you can take the "Moral Highground," as you are just as guilty as the Greedy Oil Executive.
Also, anyone who thinks a President has this much control over anything (regarding other posts), obviously doesn't know the Constitution. Seriously, the President has little to no effect on Domestic policy. That is CONGRESS. So instead of slapping every President on the back from FDR, to Ike, to JFK, to Regan, to Clinton for doing a good job domestically, thank the respective congresses that where under them.
