[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1451426, member: 4319"] No, we don't. And you want them to drill for it, and tell them how much you'll pay? How did that work out when we tried it after the '73 oil crisis? Current domestic consumption far exceeds domestic production, so price controls ain't gonna work. We're dependent on foreign oil until we stop using so damn much oil, period. To quote a construction materials company owner I know "I had a builder call and try to tell me what [I]HE[/I] was gonna pay [I]ME[/I] for material. I told him I'm running a business, not playing a board game and if he doesn't want to pay my price then not to place any more orders." The we could go into how natural gas and electricity are regulated, government assisted monopolies and gasoline is something you buy at the store, like soda. And the "the economy wouldn't have crashed if not for high gas prices" is laughable. [/QUOTE]
