House passes bill to fight gas prices and stop "price gouging"


(CNN) - The House has voted 217-207 to pass a bill that gives the Federal Trade Commission the authority to investigate energy companies for alleged price gouging as prices at gas pumps nationwide hit record highs.

According to what has been said, Republicans in general don't approve because there apparently is no evidence to support the Democrats' claim of why exactly gas is going up. Now it's headed to the Senate. I wonder if this is really just another agenda struggle.
