It would not surprise me to learn that petro is a renewable resource and they just perpetuate the myth that we are running out of it so we will pay $4 per gallon for gasoline.
I don't know which is more evil, to perpetuate a lie of scarcity or to drain mother earth of every last drop of the precious vital oils that lubricate her insides while suppressing alternative sources of FREE energy...
The oil companies have "all the" money, own the patents to alternative technologies, and suppress them. They are obviously not concerned about harming the planet by drilling oil, or they would start using their patents. They are the experts. Shouldn't we trust them? (sarcasm)
