The one thing people seem to forget is the more oil we have, the lower the price and the lower the profits the oil companies make. ↗

The President's announcement sounded less like a national energy plan than like a page from an election-year play book. This Administration's plan to reduce obscene oil company profits is to regulate them less. ↗
