Feingold: Energy Market Oversight Included in Farm Bill
Published Thursday, May 08, 2008 at 04:50 AM
Feingold says - energy market speculation has a lot to do with the price of gas and Congress must act immediately to close a loophole to ensure there is proper oversight of energy trading. Feingold says - we can not allow energy traders to secretively bid up the price of oil and saddle Americans with the price at the gas pump.
Feingold adds - if this energy loophole is not fixed we will not be able to determine if American consumers are paying a fair price for energy.
