BP, the Alaskan Pipeline, and Gas Prices

Why are only Democrats demanding an investigation into their dead Pipeline from Alaska? According to a report on NBC tonight, BP deliberately foiled the flow of crude.

Well, although we hear that prices will climb toward $4 over the next few weeks and mostly on the West Coast, I'll tell you they are already within a hair of $4 here in rural Vermont, about as far away from the West Coast as you can get.

Lowest price I saw today was $3.699 for regular unleaded and just a penny beneath $4 for premium.
