Do oil companies really own the world?
Oil is one of the most precious commodities in the world. But do Oil companies really have as much power and control as the liberals would have us believe? Do they really influence elections, have certain politicians on their payroll, obstruct the development of the electric car and are they really buying up all the renewable energy companies?
Or is this all conspiratorial liberalist bullshit?
In response to a comment on the electric car: Look, I’m sure it’s possible to build an electric car that’s much more efficient than the ones that have been released commercially. Think about the other stuff electricity does and you’re telling me that nobody has been able build something that rotates 2 axels at a high speed and carries people around without having to charge every few miles? I find that hard to believe.
The Expert answers:
The world runs on coal and oil (for the most part)
The oil company’s have power as long as oil powers the world.
Influence Elections ? – No ! They don’t have to.
Politicians on payroll ? – No ! They don’t need to do that, that would be a waste of profits.
Obstruct the electric car that only get 90 miles to a charge at best ? – That’s silly talk.
The oil company’s have real power, not the kind you have to buy or steal. The have power because the world is addicted to oil.
And when we take our 9 mile to the gallon SUV’s to the gas station we are paying with our hard earned money to keep them in power.
Nothing Liberal about that.
Lizzie asks…
How are government and NGOs confronting climate change?
So far, I have that they demand the world move to renewable energy resources, what are two other ways the government and NGOs are confronting climate change? Thanks.
The Expert answers:
No Government, nor NGO is actually doing anything that would alter the course of the climate. There are some efforts to produce less CO2, http://www.rense.com/general88/cap.htm
but CO2 is not what drives the climate. Http://www.john-daly.com/forcing/moderr.htm
Many of their CO2 reduction efforts are really not to reduce CO2, but to use Global warming as an excuse for other policies ostensibly to reduce CO2 production. Http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AiBvlwbwfJDBnLyqssvEh_Tty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20100427155928AAb6Dwg&show=7#profile-info-A6qoNVxJaa
Obama is currently pushing a climate bill proposed by Sens. Kerry and Lieberman that restricts CO2 production in only certain sectors of the economy, and subsidizes off shore drilling and nuclear power.

Richard asks…
Democrats, are you aware that Oil is vital to the world’s economy?
That as to date we have no large scale replacement of oil what-so-ever. That without oil in-addition to not being able to drive your car, you have no food, no water, no clothes, no electric (oil fuels the electric making generators) The few exceptions would be the Amish Farmers. Renewable energy as of yet a pipe dream.
That the White House rant against BP will only not solve the problem but is making it worse, that all our efforts should go into stopping the spill. Aka Bobby Jindal Governor of Louisiana
The Expert answers:
White House is putting pressure on BP because voters are putting pressure on it (the spill is already being called Obama’s Katrina).
Shale gas can replace oil for most uses, and there is plenty of it.
But otherwise you are right, politicians (of any persuasion) tend to be out of touch with reality.
