Crude Reality: Big Oil's Purposely Restricting Supply

The author is missing the boat here. True, this is about money. But, it is not about the money OPEC or the Oil companies are making. It is about TAXES !!!!!
Our government is making a fortune from the taxes collected on the energy we use. They do not want us using alternative energy. Because, alternatives will be tax free for "x" number of years. The more oil and natural gas we use, the more taxes they get to spend on ear marks. Both sides do not want us having solar panels on our houses, or wind turbines in our yards. Then they will not collect any taxes from it. In fact they will have to give us a tax credit for doing it. Congress is already considering raising the gas tax because we US citizens are already using less gas.
Face it everyone, this is about Taxes, plain and simple.
