I imagine if the profit was taken out of oil, we would be well on our way to alternative energy sources.
Money truly is the root of all these problems.
FDR, eg, expressed the opinion that no Military Contractor should be allowed to make outrageous profits from wars. He was fearful it might encourage wars that were only for profit.
All this really is so simple. It should not be hard to get things in place that are reasonable and for the benefit of the people in general.
But MONEY is making sure people do not even EXPECT fairness anymore. They are creating a beaten down population willing to live off the crumbs they are thrown and be grateful for those crumbs, and we have plenty of morons ready to keep sending that message.
