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.

Well, the artic ice is melting 3X faster than anyone thought it would. Global warming is more real than anyone expected. Bad Bad policy to continue putting greenhouse gasses in the air. much smarter to switch now to something more eco-friendly.

PS: by the time everyone realizes that we should have throttled Big Oil, it will be (most likely) too late. Pretty stupid.
