A little explanation on why Gas prices are so high.
It seems that Speculators are to blame. But, ask yourselves again why it was so important for Cheney to have closed door secret meetings on energy policy with the likes of Ken Lay and other Big Oil execs. Also ask why ’til this day the White House refuses to release any information about these meetings, including the basics, like, who was at the meetings.
Key phrase from this article:

“Essentially this shift is the result of an exemption written into the Commodity Futures Modernization Act of 2000 at the behest of Enron.”
