The laughable part of this story is what they leave out. The size of the big oil companies actually makes the amount of profit be small when looked at by way of percent of total business. Remember this is a world wide company. I heard a friend talk about a friend moving to Ireland temporarily for work. Gas goes for about $12 a gallon. Where does the money go? Taxes. If you want to get mad look at the pump and see what direct taxes you are paying and keep in mind that there are hidden taxes they are not allowed to show.

Refineries have not been built for many years because the environmentalists fight it as well as nuclear power plants. This would help cut fuel costs but they want us to be forced to pay higher prices so we will have to drive less. Part of the environmentalists plan.
