16. Gov't could break stranglehold |
|
Instead of nationalizing the whole industry, the gov't could operate a couple refineries. This is how they're manupulating the prices. There's plenty of oil being produced, but the industry has let the amount of refined fuel available be adjusted by not building additional refining capacity. I watched the energy committee in the senate on c-span a few months ago, and Sen. Boxer zeroed in on that fact.
