Because they've had congress and the white house in their pockets? Hello: a former CEO is the freaking VPOTUS, for god's sake. Ethics? Who needs 'em! They've got buddies in Washington!

Uh hunh. The same energy companies that have been investigated for windfall profits and opportunistic pricing? The same energy companies who have successfully lobbied for governmental protection while making these record profits? I'm not real sure you want to be making that comparison. Doesn't really help your case.
