I agree price controls are a bad idea, but price gouging controls are another thing - seems to me with all the oil co mergers, we have basically a cartel gouging us - just look at the record profits.

For refineries, I think the best location is the vacated military bases - restore some jobs lost at the same time - Alaska refineries would drive up transportation costs for all but Alaskan oil.

The energy bill just passed is worthless - incentives for oil companies to explore? They need more incentive than greed?
