fta- It should be clear that an industry whose five biggest producers generated $145 billion in profits last year can easily sacrifice $1.7 billion in annual tax breaks it does not need to help develop the cleaner fuels the country does need.

  "super omnes profito" -- above all else, profit. there's still lots more money to be made the oil-fashioned way. when it's no longer profitable then you'll see just how quickly they can actually make the switch to carve out as much of the market as possible.

  Thanks for posting this. What amazes me is that Republicans will insist one moment that "a President can't control" oil/gas prices and in the next breath they want us to believe that if they're simply allowed to drill, prices will magically plummet and every time we go to fill up our gas tanks we'll be greeted with flowers and kisses. Oh wait...I'm thinking of Iraq. Nevermind...
  The point is, what makes these people think we can trust them to give tax payers any kind of relief when Exxon-Mobil won't cough up a few lousy billion dollars to pay for the Valdez judgement? If we allow them to drill, will they give back the billions in subsidies the GOP has given them? Will they pull our troops out of Iraq and stop illegally invading countries to jockey for oil? HELL NO. There is absolutely NO guarantee Americans will benefit. NONE. Republicans are absolutely NOT to be trusted. If we let these weasels drill, it'll be at our own peril.
