As seen on C-Span yesterday, the House passed a bill yesterday by a 4-1 ratio which would allow the Justice Department to sue members of OPEC for manipulation of oil prices and for limiting the supply of oil to help increase prices and profits.
The bill would subject OPEC oil producers, including Saudi Arabia, Iran and Venezuela, to the same antitrust laws that U.S. companies must follow if it passes the Senate.
The legislation also creates a Justice Department task force to aggressively investigate gasoline price gouging and energy market manipulation.
There are at least three things wrong with this bone headed legislation
Retaliation -
It is a rare occasion when I agree with anything coming out of the White House but the White House opposes the bill, saying that targeting OPEC investment in the United States as a source for damage awards "would likely spur retaliatory action against American interests in those countries and lead to a reduction in oil available to U.S. refiners."
The White House stated the obvious in saying that retaliation would lead to less oil to refineries which would raise fuel prices. Duh!
Globalism ? How do you sue another country without having an overseeing body of some sort? So, for one country to sue another is a step towards globalism since the United Nations or some other such organization is going to have to gain new powers not granted by our Constitution. How else could it be heard? The last thing we need to be doing now is adding more power to some entity that has more power than our own government.
Wrong Target ? What a bunch of arrogant criminals we have in Congress. Do they really think that noone is watching?. They think that they can fool all of the people all of the time? Uh uh! They try to sue OPEC for manipulation and all but what about our ?American? automotive and oil corporations (which have Congress in their pockets)? For the last 13 years or so automotive manufacturers have been equipping all new cars with a computer sensor. What's it there for? It floods the engine with gasoline when the vehicle starts to achieve higher MPG than the oil companies want us to have! This is a fact and you can ask any mechanic worth his grease and he will confirm it for you.
The answer to the skyrocketing price of gasoline lies in grassroots activism and new technologies but don't hold your breath for new technologies to come from corporations. That is working at cross purposes to their religion of the holy profit
One such technology is Water4Gas.
is providing information for a nominal fee which people can use in their garage or wherever to create a small device which instills hydrogen into the gas/air mixture that their automobile runs on.
The process makes smaller particles out of the ones that the system uses as fuel. Therefore the system is able to use considerably more of it.
With WATER4GAS you can minimumly expect to lower your gasoline consumption by 30-50% or even more. Those goblets "musta" been pretty "blankin'" huge in some systems before. But with WATER4GAS they are made consumable so you can lower your gasoline consumption.
It also helps make emissions significantly cleaner.
