Why can’t we control gas prices?
I have to laugh when I read the paper about gas prices. Every time gas prices go up or down it’s big news. People scream we should drill more or the oil producing countries need to give us a break. The first oil crisis was in 1974. That was 38 years ago.
We are supposed to be the greatest, smartest people in the world, but we have not been able to come up with engines that use much less fuel or even alternative fuel sources to power our machinery. Sheesh, we put a man on the moon in less than 10 years. I guess the oil companies have one heck of a lobby group that controls this country. Maybe we are not as great a country as we think we are.
