Unbelievable. These oil companies literally know no bounds. They are every bit as bad as the Wall Street companies. Greed and corruption has really become systematic. No wonder everyone has been convinced that we don't need to work on renewable energy and that we don't need to be oil independent. The oil companies have spent billions to ensure the American public is utterly confused about climate change and the need for an energy bill.

If I had been a politician, I would have never argued for energy legislation under the banner of climate change. I would have argued for it for our economic and national security. It would be great to see how the GOP and the oil companies try to fight against a bill that would try to limit the amounting of oil money that goes to our enemies and terrorists.

Anyway, stockmanscott posted a link to an engineer who discusses the BP oil spill. Here's a quote and link back to scott's post:
If one estimates the cost of a barrel of oil from the Middle East, the US Armed Forces cost added in would drive it to about $2000/barrel. If people paid this at the pump they would be demanding what I say with force so high you couldn't hear anything else. If you factor in the cost of spills and such domestic oil probably costs $500/barrel or more. This is just insane.
