>gasoline should be $2 a gallon< People make that assertion with no justification. Explain exactly why gasoline should be $2 a gallon. The statement "that would be a nice price" cuts no mustard. I, myself, considering the general rate of inflation since 1977 think it should be about $0.20 less a gallon than it is now.

You really think natural gas is a product that competes with oil? Try again.... They call it the "oil and gas" industry for a reason!

We need to elect more Democrats to Congress so that they can bring back price regulation and stop corporate greed! I feel sorry for you if you believe this.Gas was $1.85 when Bush left office! This is obama and the fed is why gas is high now.

I like your take on speculators. Hang em!!

Jap cars are crap.

Truckers do pay more. They have a highway use tax, higher fuel tax and higher to\lls. Plus remember almost every thing you buy gets there by truck.

"No matter how good the US can clean coal, China will do whatever they want!" Boy, is that ever true! Good post!
