Daggers Posted 28 July 2006 Posted 28 July 2006 How come the energy companies charge more because the price of crude has gone up, even though they own the companies that produce and refine the raw material? The producers [them] make huge profits on the raw material, they launder it through bogus middleman companies - the middleman companies bitch about high prices so they charge me more and more and more. I dont get it!
stez Posted 28 July 2006 Posted 28 July 2006 you need to set up your own oil company, search for some crude, pruduce some crude based products and sell them to the people at prices for the people. Then you can get taken over by BP and retire as a millionaire. easy.

I dont get it! It's called capitalism. All the good things in life you have are there because of such a wonderful system, the vast amount of profit oil companies make reflects their contribution to society. Just pay up and don't complain.

I dont get it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/5219382.stm British Gas owner Centrica has said it plans to raise gas bills by 12.4% for its 10.7 million customers. http://www.myfinances.co.uk/news/household...#036;445821.htm From Monday customers of the energy provider will have to fork out an extra 19 per cent for gas and eight per cent more for electricity. http://www.businessweek.com/globalbiz/cont...p+news_top+news Economists have been surprised how little the current high price of oil has damaged the U.S. and world economies. After all, prices have soared by 300% since 1999, yet nearly all the regions of the world continue to chug along....oil prices one-third higher than they are now, would sting the world. demand world wide is curtailing our comfort lifestyle. get used to it dude, were in for tougher times ahead, baton down the hatches, everyman for themselves, tally ho.
