>>Allen - are oil companies profiting from the restrictions?<< Bob - You said they were. Are you not sure now? When the price of crude goes up, the oil companies profit more, I've noticed. Thus, any restriction of supply would seem to tilt the supply/demand curve in the oil companies' favor. - Allen

Fine, Bob, oil companies are profiting from the restrictions. Somehow you think that this a big point. La-dee-dah. As long as oil companies don't have to pay for climate change, they will profit. Good for them. But we will all pay for this folly in the long run, IMHO. Presuming that the science behind climate change is correct. Yes, I presume that at this point. Read The Discovery of Global Warming. Or With Speed and Violence. It is pointless to continue this.
