Reply #34: My bad [View All]

That was the second post by the same person that seemed to go into more depth. Here was his original source:

As to this not being Enron, during one week, 3 separate reports came out detailing how the oil companies were shorting us at the refineries, at the drilling sources and in transit. And why not? If oil reaches $200 a barrel(hell, why not $300 or even $400?), then they will probably triple their profit margin.

Nobody will ever hold these people accountable, not even if they run the economy into the ground, so what incentive do they have for playing by the rules?

As for the alternatives, I support solar, wind, wave, hydro(non-dam) and anything else in a similar vein. Where I live, we get 300 days of sunshine on average, so that's what we're going to do. I don't support Ethanol because of oil used to produce it, coal is a bad idea(Crandall Mine in my state) and Nuclear is an even worse one.
