I know there's a lot of supply/demand factors which I don't completely comprehend, but when I see the economy tanking partly because of high gas prices and the oil companies are the only companies posting insane record profits, something just doesn't add up. What do you think?
Some say opening up protected areas to drill would help solve the problem, but will it really?? Would these oil giants lining their wallets with our money because we have no other choice really lower the price just because there's more oil in the market? I honestly don't think so.
And yes, I know gas is also expensive in the UK, so you don't have to mention it. In Iran it's almost as cheap as water, so it's all relative to where you are and what your market is adjusted to.
