Please submit approval/yes to agree that the federal government should, or direct states to enforce fair pricing policies on consumer gasoline and diesel fuels for automobiles and trucks, and for home heating oil.
We are being gouged systematically, and our state Public utilities commision has no authority. Meanwhile, energy companies are reaping windfall profits.

We call for a federal Public Utilities Commisson to ensure against price gouging.
