The problem as I see it is that the big oil and other energy companies are only interested in short time profit.

That's not a problem, that's Capitalism. Damn good thing Ronnie Reagan & his subsequent NeoCon clones de-regulated industry & "got government off our backs". Its worked a real treat, hasn't it?


We MUST get out from under the yoke of OPEC.

On beyond fatuous- "The yoke of Opec". What the U.S. needs to get out from under is the yoke of oil addiction, the yoke of the SUV, and the yoke of wasteful dickheadism in general.
