The shocking truth behind high oil prices

HELP STOP Skyrocketing Oil Prices
Right Here, Right Now

In just one click, you can make a difference. Let me show you how…

Before I show you how, let me tell you why you should believe me. You see I worked as a heating oil executive for several years and traveled all over the United States visiting oil dealers of every size and scope.
Maverick Oil Heat Executive SPEAKS OUT

And this is what I found:

  • It’s not the guys selling us heating oil or gas that are making fortunes.
  • The real crooks behind the “GOUGING” of fuel prices are the energy traders.

Here’s why...

There’s a massive loophole in the law and the speculators on Wall Street are artificially raising prices so they can take massive profits while we pay the price.
The scoundrels! — Stay with me now;

Write your congressmanIt all started with Katrina, unfortunately it gave speculators the excuse to drive up oil prices. Once they knew there was money to be made, every little reason to drive up prices was a good reason.

Think about it… it’s all about “this could happen”, that could happen” so let’s drive up the prices. It’s the same song every year about inventory, unrest, supply - nothing significant happens, but the prices still go up and never really seem to come down.

And they have used this little-known Loophole to line their greedy pockets at the expense of families and small businesses.

Since the loophole was opened, billions of dollars have flowed through the loophole like water over the Niagara Falls and traders have pocketed the cash – driving up the price of energy and, in some cases, manipulating it for personal profit.

“People have a sneaking suspicion they are getting ripped off.
And you know what, they are right,”
Congressman Welch (VT) said, as he announced legislation designed to regulate trading of energy commodities.

Manipulating it for personal profit”. There I said it.

Don’t believe me?

Think I’ve got a crazy conspiracy theory?

Think again. You can read all the details in the oil heat proof section.

It’s called the Enron Loophole and in 2000, Enron lobbyists succeeded in exempting energy commodity trading from federal oversight actions so they could pass the “Enron Loophole.”

Heating oil retailers have been working with members of Congress for the past three years to fight high oil prices by closing the Enron Loophole, through their trade association, the Independent Connecticut Petroleum Association. But they need our help!

Virtually overnight, the loophole freed certain energy trading platforms from federal oversight requirements. It opened the door to excessive speculation and energy price manipulation.
Now their greed is damaging the country one family at a time.

Write your congressmanSo while Enron is long gone,
its legacy remains.

These new unregulated “DARK MARKETS” are now the dominate energy trading environment; resembling the Wild West more than Wall Street. Congress should pass the “Close the Enron Loophole Act” and bring the rule of law back to the energy markets.

Stop the manipulation

Basically we need to close the “Enron loophole” that permits certain kinds of speculation in oil commodities markets that tend to add fuel to the fire of these outrageous prices. Closing this loophole allows government oversight that will be the first step in controlling the volatility.

Remember we are stronger when we stand together.

It’s called critical mass and it’s when all of us as individuals stand together as one.

Here’s how we do it.

Contact your Representatives and Senators today and tell them to support S.2058/H.R.4066 “the close the Enron Loophole act”.

Let’s stop this gouging and change the law. Contact your congressman here
