NYCAP- this subject has really put a bee in your bonnet

I guess I'm not sure who to scream at though. Sure, the oil companies are making money, but we are a capitalist society so new refineries are being built every day (literally, in Canada). Maybe I'm naive, but it would seem to me that rising prices create a market ripe for competition.
Another added benefit to rising fuel prices is that it will cause every one of us to stop being lazy and will prompt us to figure out ways that we can individually conserve fuel. On a larger scale, it will prompt ingenuity in creating alternatives to oil consumption.
Oh Boy- now I've done it
