After all, the tree huggers don't want to get out from under the cartels even if pipelines could be the answer! <= The only thing the Keystone pipeline was the answer to was the question, "how can Canada export its tar sands oil to the international market?" -- because that's where that end product was always going to go. It certainly wasn't going to our gas stations. Nice try.

vibdata Champion Author Massachusetts Posts:4,090 Points:849,300 Joined:Nov 2005	Message Posted: Feb 19, 2012 11:01:54 PM Ignore vibdata Report Abuse Somehow, sometime soon, someone has to figure out how they just spiked the gas prices so badly in the same time that CRUDE has risen very little. Anybody know who's to blame for this? Who is accountable? NO ONE. That's the problem. Until someone takes the blame for this the prices are going to continue to soar. Don't forget, gas is a deliverable quantity. The price of DIESEL to deliver this quantity is SOARING too. So gas is going to be too expensive just because they're ripping the truckers off for DIESEL. Nice spiral.
