Don't forget about the oil company's. High fuel costs are driving up the cost of living. They are also making life difficult for the blue collared worker. Wallets are getting tighter. We are struggling just to feed our families.
yes, and here's how to do, tell your lawmakers to close the enron loophole:
So why are oil prices high? The Enron Loophole. Former Head of U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Professor Michael Greenberger, speaks to Congress on the high price of oil--and he's not happy about Energy Deregulations:

I dunno if the oil thing is over. Umm, there's speculation that the reason that we got out of Iraq was cuz we finally found the equivalent of 300 billion barrels of oil there.
Becuase it is now secured, we can leave. There is plenty of oil.

we need to occupy big oil company!!!!
I agree look at the big oil company they are raking in record profit while the 99% are struggling with paying for students loan, mortgage, medical insurance, and put foods on the table. Why are we allowing this? Why isn’t the government doing anything about this?

Yeah, we must fear terrorism! Isn't it more likely to die from getting struck by lightning? I don't believe we're there for oil - oil is a convenient excuse for the masses to blame wars on. I believe it's plain and simple conquest, because wars help the bankers since they put both sides of the war in debt.
true, we need to quit with the oil and start with the geothermal.
regarding the distortion below, the largest subsidies go to oil and coal, not green energy, and green energy is orders of magnitude cheaper than coal or oil.

Oil companies do not drive up the price. It is the international market. They make a lot of mistakes, but they definitely do not drive up the prices.
The end of oil is coming and the 7billion person population is entirety oil supported.
You either:
These are with no exception, so I ask : which are you?
The rocky plateau is behind us, do you now what that is? Watch out for the transition, that's what's going to get you.
The hills have eyes
VERSE1
underneath the sea
your well may seem to be
like a blooming black plume belching smoke in the sky
though the smoke is rather thick
all the sea creature are sick
and don't eat the fish unless you're looking to die
.
CHORUS
drill deep offshore
an oiling we will go
we will go an oiling a spoiling away
blown high down low
the oil it will spill
for many a many a long long day
for many a many a long long day
'
VERSE2
some are quick to blame BP
but we give them our money
cause if you're stuck in a rut a car can help you get free
and when you're a rush
who wants to ride the bus
so let's raise a toast to the oil industry
.
VERSE3
the second largest proven reserve
everyone got what they deserved
and everyone knows that gasoline ain't free
and if you want some more
you'd best declare a war
and sell them a bit of selfish democracy
La La Laaaaaaaa I fell like I'm back in Oz! More pot, anyone?

Well, we would have liked that song in Oz.. maybe...
I would be more concerned about "big green" at least big oil puts money in the system, but big green takes it by subsidies.
"big green"? lets see some numbers,. put up the values of the big 3 oil corporations,. and the big 3 green corporations,. lets see the welfare and the earnings,. lets calculate the damage done "extracting" oil and the restoration done by the "big green" you seem to be against,.
why is it you seem to come out on the wrong side of every argument?
ExxonMobil is one of the most widely held stocks in America. Millions upon millions own XOM through pensions, 401Ks, and IRAs because it makes up a portion of nearly every major board market mutual fund or ETF. Millions more own it directly by purchasing shares by themselves. These are middle class workers.
Obviously the executives own more of the stock but when XOM does well, American investors do well, regardless of how much you have invested. It has a high float, which basically means a higher percentage of XOM stock is not held by insiders when compared to other major corporations. A lot of that $10 billion in profit goes out to middle America through dividends, stock buybacks, and capital growth. It has an extremely high float, mea
Let me get back to you on this, seriously. My wife has the numbers as she did a research paper on this for her senior year econ class at UGA.
yeah, I'm sure the threat of "big green" is a menacing one,. however I am much more concerned with the activities of the large resource extraction corporations,. and the damage they do daily. as I am sure it is a much large in numbers and import than promoting green energy..,
You will be the first to go, good luck
Go where?
Your inability to get a clue is a barometer of the general intelligence of the sheeple. I'm not trying to be a dick but I actually feel sorry for you
really... only buy oil from your neighborhood wildcat driller / refiner.
