The Oil Pro- hike prices. That was the same year the oil com- ducing Exporting Countries (OPEC) cartel has an- panics averaged about 600 percent profit increase. nounced they are lifting price ceiling on oil. In the US, the oil industry is not producing at anywhere near capacity in an attempt to drive oil prices up even higher. Last week, President Carter in an attempt to dent the massive problem of the energy crisis, announced a plan that would de-control oil prices and also tax oil companies for windfall profits. Though the Presi dent should be commended for his efforts, the situa tion with the irresponsible oil industry is out of con trol. Drastic measures are needed if this country is to ever pull out of this critical energy crisis. The only solution to completely halt spiraling oil prices is to nationalize all of the major oil com panies. This would be a painstaking job that would step on a lot of toes, but it is the most workable alter native when dealing with the energy crisis. The oil record at products, disregard crisis. industry in this country has a shoddy best in supplying consumers with their The oil industry has showed callous to consumers ever since the 1973 oil Under private control the oil companies with their ability to turn off or cut the supply of oil at will, can and are crippling the nation's economy. The cons tant and steady flow of oil is cut off as well. In 1973, when oil prices nearly doubled and con sumers were forced to sit in long lines at the gas In the record cold winter of 1977, seven oil com panies were convicted of withholding natural gas shipments to the fuel-starved Midwest. The result of this intentional ploy to drive up prices was schools were forced to shut down for lack of fuel and hun dreds of thousands of workers wer laid off of their jobs. In essence, the oil companies actually disrupted governmental essential services and pos ed a threat to the security and well-being of the population. And now, producing even less oil, and using the Iranian crisis as an excuse, the oil companies are eyeing with pleasure the prospect of dollar a gallon by the end of the year. Americans are being eaten alive by inflation in food prices and other essentials should not be forced to take the added burden of 40 percent yearly increases in fuel costs. The government should begin now to take over gradual control of the oil giants allowing small in dependents to stay in business as real competitive oil could then be produced at a much lower cost and could be sold at its true worth while the government should take a crash program to convert this nation to cleaner and safer energy. Nationalization is the necessary and drastic step needed to stop the oil industry from gouging the con sumers. Arts Editor Feature Editor Sports Editor Photography Editor .
