"I believe the fact that the U.S. is an over-consumer of energy is the reason that the greedy corporate raise the price on it because they know that they can and we will still buy it; not because of some damn shortage that is looming right around the corner."


I disagree.

I believe the fact that the U.S. is an over-consumer of energy is the reason that the greedy corporate raise the price on it because they know that they can and we will still buy it AND because of the coming global shortage.


So in other words - I think we're both right.
