it was interesting.
my gut take is that the oil companies' record profits are the sunset effect, as they know their eclipse is inevitable.
they will increasingly be blamed by the ignorant public, who have been kept that way on purpose by the incestuous role of governments, happily taxing fossil fuels while ignoring the very real need to focus on alternatives.
it's a game of chicken, really, as their asses are grass when the shit hits the fan too.
greedy f'ckers.
their only hope is that with no fuel, people will not be able to unite in enough numbers to effectively protest, except in the cities.
