Lack of refineries = problem.

While I'd love to agree with you, I can't help but notice that the oil companies netted some 8 billion dollars during these high gas price times.

I don't know about you, but getting that much money surely means they're going to spend a good portion of it on getting more refineries to help reduce the gas prices? Umm... yeah... sure... whatever... if you really want to think so. But let's face facts: building more refineries isn't good for business when you're already settings records with your current supply / demand ratio.

Edit: actually, 10 billion.

It seems the story was taken off of CNN, but google still has a cache of it Very Happy
