Jim Snyder, of The Hill: "There may be one group of people who don't mind the soaring oil prices - lobbyists. Rising gas prices have provided steady employment on K Street, even if the spike has made it more expensive to fill up the SUVs lobbyists seem to favor. Advocates of various stripes have had to fend off a variety of legislation that would do everything from opening OPEC up to antitrust lawsuits, to allowing oil and gas developers access to offshore areas now off-limits, to taxing 'windfall profits' the industry now gets and redirecting the money to promote renewable energy."
