It's 30+ years. And it's because of environmentalists, legislation that favours them and the NIMBY crowd.

Exxon is manipulating the price of oil and gas. They own the oil being pumped, the company that is pumping it, the company that is shipping it, the pipes that are sending it, the refineries that are making the gas, the trucks that are carrying it, and the stations that are putting it in your tank.

OPEC controls the price of crude, not Exxon. And they set it based on supply and demand. Economics 101.

You guys are all fucking idiots defending these companies that are fucking up our economy.

Face it - without these companies you wouldn't have an economy to fuck up.
Then you'd have to find something or someone else to blame for whatever perceived grievances you have.
