And if the “robber baron” John D. Rockefeller the First could not be jailed simply for being a monopolist and the world’s first billionaire, what chance is there of ever putting ANY oil company executive in jail?

Sorry, Bernie. The law is already established, that executives of petroleum and energy-related corporations cannot be put in jail for the simple acts of extracting, refining and distributing “fossil fuels”.

Now, there are a lot of OTHER things, these executive may have done, or are capable of incorporating into their business plans, which WOULD land them in hot water, but just handling “fossil fuels” as a commodity is not one of them.

Yeah, well supposedly gun manufacturers can’t be sued either but we see where that’s gone lately.
