The CEO's and executive teams have obviously consulted with accountants about what would happen with their personal profits if more refineries were built as opposed to using refineries as a market manipulation factor to keep prices artificially high.

I keep looking at all of the options including a windfall profits tax to be spent on building new refineries to force the oil companies to move in that direction. My guess, being the money grubbing sociopaths that they are, is that the windfall profits tax would be passed on to consumers.

So my alternative is to specifically target every last single CEO and executive for a full tax statement orofice search by the IRS (sound of a latex glove snapping on). Maybe they could go to extra efforts to investigate offshore banking. My guess is that they all use offshore accounts. I would even go so far as to engage the same surveillance Bush wants on us peasants be used on them to discover offshore accounts.

As the old proverb says, don't get mad - get even.
