Every company needs to make a profit to stay in business, but the profit the
oil companies have made are record breaking. What I hear people say is we
should conserve gas. I will never get caught up in conserving anything again.
Now
let me tell you why. Back in the 70's they got on the kick to conserve
electricity ( I worked for a electric utility) so people did. It was working
and the
consumption of electricity was dropping so now what happens the profits were
dropping also. The only thing left was to raise the price of electric which
they did. Now we can pay more for less what a good deal that was for the
utility
companies. The oil companies will do the samething you got me once but not
twice!! I just hope I live long enough to see a cheap alternative fuel and make
gas worthless.
