"if we find any price gouging it will be dealt with firmly."

BS!!! Absolute BS... Futures manipulation is the main thing contributing to high gas prices, and just like Bubba told the SEC don't you dare go after the manipulators in the stock market in the late 90s.... they are not going to be prosecuted by this administration either. End Futures Energy Trading immediately... the market is simply too corrupt.

Big corporations like airlines hedge their energy costs with futures contracts.

Hedging has become big business because risk of high energy prices is perceived as a threat to the bottom line.
