With less suppliers providing gasoline, that will mean less visual pollution of gas station signs jutting up from the horizon or peaking from atop mountainside woods. Less suppliers will mean it will not take as much time to choose which station to buy gas from. Less time deciding which competing gas station to buy from will be a major boon to consumers. --taken from (I hope nonexistent) Democratic Talking points memo Goody goody!!

In three years we could have all the oil we need, and if we start building refineries now we'll no longer have to worry about our economy being held hostage by the price of gasoline.

Oil companies are just evil because they make a profit. It's amazing how many people think that way. It would seem to me they need to find new markets to invest their profits in. Otherwise, they'll fizzle out and die as their oil investments dry up. Alternative energy, anyone? No, you’re making too much sense. Oil companies are just evil because they make a profit.
