What in the world is happening to energy?
It's not really a matter of inaction by our government. It's more that this country is "ruled" by large, multi-national corporations. Why give up a good thing? Look at the Delta & Northwest merger. The media came right out with the truth on the underlying reason for the merger - hedge funds. The funds want the price of the stock to go up, so they can dump it at a profit, and they don't care a hoot about the repercussions.
We need to get a rein on greed before we can move forward, I'm afraid.
