They will take our dependence on oil to the bitter end to keep their investments and extended investments wringing out profits with the least expense to the corporations.
For now, that's to keep running on oil and oil that is acquired in the least expensive way. They don't want to drill in current leased areas because it would cost them more; besides to get permission to drill in even larger areas locks in more of THEIR oil--they have leases, they want public and protected lands in ADDITION, just as they intend to lock in oil contracts in Iraq. They want it ALL.
They intend to keep US citizens dependent, poor and stupid. None of their decisions are about the long-run, the well being of the individual or the planet. They will thwart attempts toward alternative fuels, renewable energy, conservation, environmental protection. This is about continuing to remain the same, no matter what the damage, while making money for themselves and related corporations. posted 07/18/2008 at 10:02:48
