Brooks Blasts Big Oil:
On Thursday, May 1st, Tracey Brooks blasted record-high prices at the pump and record-breaking big oil profits, and addressed how the Bush Administration's energy and foreign policy failures have led to this crisis, and discuss the need to finally implement both short-term conservation and long-term energy alternative solutions.
Brooks' blast comes as Exxon Mobil announced their first-quarter net income rose 17 percent to $10.89 billion and profits increased by 10 percent. Siena College also released a poll featuring citizens frustrated attitudes on gas prices.The price of gas has recently jumped in the Capital -- already knocking at $4.00 a gallon with prices ranging as high as 3.79 to 3.99, well ahead of the expected summer increases.
