Trilby Lundberg: In the pocket of the oil companies.

In this weekend’s survey, Trilby Lundberg announced in no uncertain terms that the oil companies were not at fault for the increasing gas prices. According to Lundberg, the rise had nothing to do with the oil companies’ profit margins. Thank you for letting us all know. How could we have thought of such a thing? If not for you stressing the point in your interview we might have made a grave mistake. Nice to have such an “independent” voice covering the industry for over 50 years.

Big Oil Faces Congress

The “Big Oil” companies again face Congress to prevent the removal of billions of dollars in subsidies it receives from the government. The House has passed legislation that would remove the subsidies, but the Senate, once again, has not. Why? Because they want money out of the oil companies to fund their present and future re-election campaigns. We will get a lot of posturing from the Senate, but this will only be for show, yet again. In the end the oil companies will keep their subsides, and the Senators will get their campaign contributions. A beautiful relationship made in Hell.
