Back in 1984 when Americans had to pay 30 to 40 cents per minute for domestic long distance call, while AT&T's employees had free breakfast and CEO enjoy huge salary and bonus. DOJ eventually proved that AT&T violate Anti Trust Law and broke up the company into 8 companies. Thereafter, long distance call cost drop and innovative technologies invented by smaller competing telephone companies, and today the cost drop to less than 1 cent per minute.
I believe DOJ may find Oil Companies have seriously violated Anti Trust Law and when they are broken up into several smaller competing companies, the gas price will then drop down to affordable level, and innovative energy solutions will then be quickly invited and invested by small competitors. For example, DOJ should not let oil companies doing gas refinery to run gas stations. All ExxonMobil gas stations should not be own by ExxonMobile, and so on.
Any patriotic and concerned citizens should file report to Department of Justice and forward this message to all.
