simple. what the heck is going on? the answers unfortunately are f far more complex. it s the iranians fault. tensions in the middle east. or its speculators, they are driving up prices. or it s the refineries which always seem to be under repair or switching to some new blend. maybe it s the dollar. the fed prints so many it takes more of them to pay for a barrel of oil. it s a pipeline problem, a lack of drilling. or higher gas prices are because of bigger demand from china. some even blame a political conspiracy. katherine boyd is president of the western states petroleum association. members of that association include chevron, bp, exxon mobile, shell, and a number of oil companies. joined by john schwartz and kim mcnicholas. a regular on the show. she s now with pando daily. we ll talk about more of that later in the show. in the meantime, thank you for being here. let s start with actually a fact we touched on the last time you were here. so the viewer understands this.
