You might call it greed.... But if you ran a business and the government says no you can't drill more wells (or plant more wheat, or whatever) then you will scale back your operations. That is exactly what the oil companies have done. I think it is California, the refineries have gone from 14 or 16 down to 6. And one had something last month that shut it down. So even with oil, they can't refine it enough. Regulations cause a lot of problems in all areas.
