Personally would say that the LACK of an energy policy.. but we
probably aren't that far away over all...

There IS a coherent coordinated policy. That is my point. It's
probably so obvious that you don't see it. The policy is to restrict
the exploration and refining capacity of oil.

I understand all of that, but those prices are not etched in stone,
either.

Simple math, George. you claim to watch and read several business sources.
Do you actually read the numbers?
Here is a simple example.
Product X sells for 1 dollar and costs 80 cents, leaving the seller a 20
cent profit. due to circumstances, the cost of product X doubles to 1 dollar
60 cents. the seller also ups their profit from 20 cents to 30 cents,
selling the product for 1 dollar 90 cents.( which is actually a drop in the
net from 20 percent to 16 percent.
but the number reported is 30 cents versus 20 cents. profits are " up" arent
they.
