Texaco

Oil Industry Gasoline Retail and Pricing

Description

Texaco operates as a major oil company that President Bartlet targets in his campaign speech for driving up gasoline prices at the pump. He names it alongside Shell to hammer big oil's grip on consumers, accusing Republicans of shielding these firms from accountability amid energy shortages. Bartlet spotlights everyday pain at Texaco stations to rally support for renewables over fossil fuel dependence.
