It is comical the demonization that 'Big Oil' gets. Every economy is dependent upon energy. The world runs on energy. If there are better products and better ways to power things, it is entirely up to the people and governments to change, to find better solutions. We needed energy in the past, we need energy now, and we will need energy in the future. And no matter what, it is going to be huge corporations who will supply energy. They are simply servicing a need. This is completely different than tobacco which is a recreational item that serves no real benefit.
