There is a big demonstration today in Washington, DC about the high price of truck fuel.  Apparently the point of the demonstration is to demand a solution from the federal government.<a href="http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=6107865">http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=6107865</a>From the article:"The truckers are calling on Congress to stop subsidizing big oil companies, release oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserves, and end exports of oil from Alaska, among other things." My questions:1)  How much would these measures do to lower the price of diesel fuel?2)  What are the economics of exporting oil from Alaska?  Who do we export it to?3)  Why and how does the government subsidize big oil companies?4)  What are the "other things" that are being asked for by the protesters?
