"Getting tens of billions to trillions of dollars of a valuable product on the market is an example of the common good, as profits often are as long as they are not the result of rent-seeking."

And don't think only in dollars and cents????? If there is no oil, I don't care how many trillions of dollars you project...we are running out quickly... But get your money sponge and suck up what you can....

"That argument is meaningless. $100 is a drop in the bucket of my personal finances, but I'm not going to leave it lying around it I can get it. "Its not going to save the world" doesn't imply "its not a good idea".

There will always be people scrounging for every quart to make a buck, remember the whaling industry..maybe the whale population will recover and you can make some money there.... I suggest you put your mind on finding solutions or alternatives to the dwindling oil supply and not on how you can squeeze the last buck out of what's left.....
