Sorry but producing rigs weren't pulled off line and every exploratory rig wasn't stopped from drilling.

Why is this? Is it to incentivise us to drill for our own or to push toward alternative fuel sources or something else?

The poor don't make campaign contributions. I hate it when they think we should do something for them. Of course during election time, we try to pretend we give a rat's behind.

Many governments help pay for their universal health care through their gas, so they could easily have $10 a gallon elsewhere. It isn't that we are just so fortunate.
