Oil exec: Prices driven by 'fundamentals'

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Amid increasing public outcry over record-shattering oil and gas prices, senators on Wednesday hauled industry executives in to testify about the recent runup.

The executives pushed the idea that large parts of the U.S. that are currently closed to drilling - like sections of Alaska, the Rocky Mountains and the continental shelf - should be opened.

3. Blah blah blah.

It will make no difference at all. Gas prices will keep going up, Congress people will say, "I tried" and the oil company execs will continue to become rich beyond anyone's wildest dreams.
