The "Tree Hugging Wackos" have nothing to do with sensible environmental policy. The largest US oil company (EXXON) controls less then 2% of the worlds output of oil, yes they are making a fortune, but they are not controlling the price level. If they could increase their percentage of the worlds' output by DRILLING HERE NOW they would make even more money but that pesky law of supply and demand would lower prices to the consumer, (that is us BTW). I am OK with that. BTW these greedy oil companies are all shareholder owned so have a duty to their owners to run responsibly (that means profits).
