The fact of the matter is that there is the very real possibility that people will freeze to death in the Northeast this winter because of stupid government regulations and the greed of an American oil industry which which has much of the Washington government and this administration on its payroll in one fashion or another!

Given that you started this rant with the words "The fact" it would be nice to see at least one fact in it.

On second thought you get partial credit for noting the existance of stupid government regulation...but only partial, since the context of the comment would seem to imply that such regulation (not allowing ANWR exploration, preventing new refineries, reformulated fuels mandate, etc.) exists at the behest of the oil industry (whose pockets you seem to believe the entire US government is in), which is really dumb...
