They cannot keep up with demand, and they deem its not profitable to build more...hmm...that makes sense since htis way they can just raise prices and create massive profit margins, while guaging the american public. I also, suggest you examine who heads up that commision I beleive you will find that vp due boy cheney is in charge...which thusly fits in well witht he bush administrations favoring of the upper class. Its not OPEC...its gool ol' greedy americans right here at home. This, also makes a better case for ol georgy boy to petetion to have the national oil reserves tapped..ie off teh florida coast and in Alaska..this stinks of the "Teapot Dome" scandal of the 1920's. THe demand for crude oil is not whats in question, its the refined stuff thats $$$. ITs a big mess, and we are toppling towards depression and war.
