No, it is a smart economic means -- at least for now. The proof, they say, is in the pudding.

Note - I do not agree with them and think the person who develops the better fuel source will be the king of the world. But, that will not happen until the oil companies want it to happen, which IMO will not be until the last drop of oil is drained. In other words, they will continue to make huge amounts of money on the status quo - right or wrong. But, that policy certainly works now doesn't it? And, the minute it does not, they will change it.
