Default Re: Boycott Esso - A Solution??

So you want to put every oil company in the US out of business? Do you think that is a really good idea? Or do you think that we need that gas companies as much as they need us?

Moreover, putting ESSO out of business will only help there competitors and put control of more oil in fewer individual hands. Pushing it closer to a monopoly situation, driving up prices. Keeping more competitors selling oil/gas helps keep prices low/lower. If oil was really expensive we would be using vegtable oil or natural gas to power our cars. We use gas because compared to our alternates it is "cheap".
