...let them get their own money without asking the oil companies to invest in THEIR profits.....greedy bastards....aligned with the enviro-weenies....pathetic
Speaking of "greedy bastards", though I'm voting no on 87, the oil companies have profited handsomely from the environmental movement...Oil companies profiting from and not fighting the environmental movement may come back to bite them on the ass.

Why would companies earning record profits want to increase the supply with more drilling and or more refineries, lowering the price?

BTW, I was just polled tonight on 87.

haha...well all companies are greedy to an extent...but they are beholden to their shareholders as well....and the profit margins for big oil are not as big as many sectors....but the VC's want us to subsidize their profit and they are beholden to no one but themselves....
