CONSPIRACY ALERT! HIGH GAS PRICES? [+] ballot by jappy ACTIVE Thu May 31, 07 - Tue Feb 23, 10 There are a lot of rumors swirling about these days about gas prices, and what exactly is going on. Some people believe whole heartedly that GW Bush is behind this, that he's trying to make a pretty penny for himself so he's conspired with the oil companies to drive the cost of oil up. Others believe that it's a conspiracy within just the oil companies themselves, that they are working together to drive up the costs to pad their pockets. Another theory that the oil companies and their supporters tend to use in their defense is that EPA and other government regulations and restrictions keep them from building new refineries or making any big upgrades to existing ones. And also that the bulk of the 'profits' goes into research to find more oil and other fuel sources. Another theory oil companies promote is that developing countries are exponentially increasing their use of fossil fuels, and the demand for items such as gasoline and such is driving the overall prices up, due to the workings of suppy and demand. Perhaps the most outlandish, and scariest if it were true, is the theory that some believe: that we are on the edge of a major breakthrough, that the formula for using hydrogen power from water has been discovered, but that the government is working with oil companies to keep it a secret for now, for fear that releasing this new nearly free energy source to the public would cause a massive collapse in our infrastructure due to the delicate balance of our economy and that of the world economy, and how big a part the oil companies play in all of that. Therefore they believe the oil companies are getting one last 'HURRAH' of profit before this new 'secret formula' is unleashed upon the world. What are your thoughts? Do you believe in any of these theories? Or perhaps you have one of your own? Perhaps you believe jews are flying airplanes into oil tankers that already have explosives in them? Please, feel free to voice your opinion here. GW Bush and his cronies are doing it Oil companies working together are doing it. EPA and clean air regulations are hurting refinery production and causing it Demand in developing nations is causing it, by supply and demand models cold fusion has been found, and oil companies are getting one last big profit before the fall a combination of many theories The gas prices are in full bloom this time of year Ballot #115306 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
