Sky-high crude helped bring on the global recession, while cheap oil hurts the energy industry

Boo hoo for the oil industry. If it comes down to the world versus Exxon, I know who I'm going to support. And if the "oil industry" dies a horrible, lingering death, it will be no more than they deserve.

This brief respite from oil tyranny should be the impetus we need to uncover any sources of energy we can that are not dependent on crude. I don't care if it means burning corn cobs and lawn clippings. We should never again rest our economy or our national security on the whims of amoral oil giants who have reached the point where they are economic superpowers in their own right.

I assume you walk or ride a bicycle.

Otherwise your comments reflect zero content of reality!

Yep, IronJack lives in an alternate universe. Does not live in reality.

What the heck are you talking about. Except for those that are part of a cartel, oil giants have very little power. They are the playthings of governments and the market.
