This letter follows a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation that Senator Rosen and colleagues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/es\/2023\/12\/11\/following-rosen-push-to-prevent-price-gouging-at-gas-pump-federal-trade-commission-opens-investigation-into-big-oil-merger\/\">called for<\/a> to examine a Big Oil merger, uncovering price gouging by American oil executives and Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) executives that resulted in higher energy costs for American families and businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFrom pre-pandemic times to current day, industry collusion may have contributed to the 49 percent decrease in the U.S. oil production growth rate,\u201d <strong>wrote the Senators<\/strong>. \u201cPioneer\u2019s and its co-conspirators\u2019 collusion may have cost the average American household up to $500 per car in increased annual fuel costs \u2013 an unwelcome tax that is particularly burdensome for lower-income families. Meanwhile, Western oil majors collectively earned more than $300 billion in profits over the last two years, a surge that many market experts believe cannot be explained away by increased production costs from the pandemic or inflation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThese alleged offenses do not simply enrich corporations; hardworking Americans end up paying the price through higher costs for gas, fuel, and related consumer products,\u201d<strong> they continued.<\/strong> \u201cThe DOJ must protect consumers, small businesses, and the public from petroleum-market collusion, and an important part of that mission means seeking full restitution and imposing all penalties supported by the facts and the law.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The full text of the letter can be found <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosen.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Letter-to-DOJ-on-Oil-Price-Fixing.pdf\"><strong>HERE<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Senator Rosen has been leading the fight to lower costs of everyday goods for hardworking Nevadans.
