[QUOTE="rwtherefords, post: 121176, member: 778"] Just another thought. Many have said that the rising gas prices are simply the result of supply and demand. What if the electric power companies were permitted to price gouge in the same manner? Demand for energy is high and the only thing keeping the power companies from jacking their prices (and profits) are government controls. Energy (both fuel & electric) is what makes this nation tic. No energy supplier should be permitted to price gouge for any reason, because it only hurts the nation. Long term, we need to reduce/eliminate our dependance on fossil fuels. Focus on replenishable sources. I also find it curious that many people blame Pres. Bush for not stepping in to limit the price gouging. Your congressmen represent you and your interests. Why aren't people focusing on the represenatives that are suppose to look out for them? It's too easy to put the focus on just one person. Congress are the one's who should act! Oh, I forgot, they're on vacation too! :roll: [/QUOTE]
