Whether ethanol is good or bad aside; I’m highly PO’d with the oil companies. We’ve given them carte blanche to drill and frack everywhere, and become the world’s #1 exporter; but meanwhile our price at the gas pump keeps escalating. Horse hockey on them! They need some competition.
American oil companies don’t control the price of oil. All the multinational private companies put together control a small fraction of the total market.
Governments control much more oil and gas production than private industry.
“They need some competition.”
Thorium energy - that’s your bogey. Extremely abundant, extremely cheap, very clean, and very safe. AND, it doesn’t produce weapons grade plutonium (much to the chagrin to the NeoCon warmongers).
If you’re serious about being “PO’d” at big oil, then join us in getting the powers that be to listen. I’d give a website, but I don’t know if I am allowed here. You can easily look up some organizations online.
The environmentalists should be on board as well, but the fact is they don’t really care about the environment. Just power.
