Reply #5: Well, they also know that the "MAXIMUM $$$ scenario" needs the rest of us to keep burning oil. [View All]

It's AGAINST their financial interests to let the
great unwashed masses know why they're doing what
they're doing. If we ALL start converting to AltEnergy,
their 30-year financial forecast falls right apart.

And ultimately, it always comes down to someone making money.

Heck, we're not in Iraq because we NEED the oil so much as
the people running the show want to keep making MONEY from oil.

If it was really about "energy need", we could have taken the
money spent occupying Iraq and spent it all on solar panels and
compact fluorescent light bulbs. That would have reduced our
energy needs to the point that Iraqi oil would be irrelevant.

But we didn't do that. Because it's not really about "oil", it's
about OIL PROFIT$. And those are currently the largest profits
ever seen in all of recorded human history.

Mi$$ion Accomplished!
