<td>Why does gas cost $4 per gallon?<br>
<br>
Demand for gasoline in the U.S. has plummeted.
Domestic production is the highest it’s been in
eight years. But the cost of gasoline is still on
the rise.<br>
<br>
<b>Something isn’t right here.</b><br>

Public Citizen on Thursday for a special free
webinar on gas prices.<br>
</a><br>
Tyson Slocum, director of Public Citizen’s Energy
Program, will:
<ul>
<li>explain the cost of gasoline from oil well to
pump</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>expose how Wall Street artificially drives up
gas prices</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>identify the ways American consumers can fight
back against Big Oil and financial speculators</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>answer your questions about oil dependence</li>
</ul>
Partisan bickering causes a lot of confusion about
what factors determine the cost of gas and how we
can address the volatility of prices.<br>
<br>
Our short online seminar is tailored to cut through
the competing rhetoric about gas prices and the
various legislative efforts aimed at lowering
prices.<br>
<br>
<b>We also will be rolling out Public Citizen’s
action plan to hold Wall Street accountable for
oil market manipulation, limit the influence of
financial speculators on gas prices, and promote
clean energy technology and alternative fuels to
decrease our dependency on oil.</b><br>
