Default The cost of boating just went up. Gas hits all-time high.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. You're doing a bang-up job.

The Great Oil Robbery

By Dave Lindorff
Created May 8 2007 - 10:12am

In case you're wondering why crude oil prices are down from last year,
hanging around at about $60 a barrel, while gasoline prices have soared
past
$3.10/gallon nationwide, just check out the latest profit reports from the
oil companies. They are at record levels.

The answer for this seeming contradiction is simple: Americans are being
robbed blind by the oil industry.


Should have gone nuclear ages ago.



How is nuclear power connected with our consumption of petroleum?


It's *all* connected.

And, we do have fossil fuel powered electric plants.
