>The "Green Movement"...or, more commonly, "Climate Change" is a phenomenon that is accepted as real the world over...not just in the U.S...You haven't read what I've provided on this...nor have you apparently done any research yourself, so I'll not burden you with any more facts or logic.
>You are correct, O&G companies are not developing new fields and they are looking at new investment opportunities that don't involve making Hydrocarbon based fuels...but just stop there for a moment...given the enormous amount of money invested in the energy sector and its importance to every nation, don't you think the industry would find a way to continue doing the "Same 'ole...Same 'ole" thing if there wasn't a good reason?...surely, they could find a way to convince the world's politicians to back off from their silly, unsupported contention that 'Climate Change', or possibly "Peak Oil" was a serious looming problem...yet, that's obviously not been the case...this is not a situation where some leftist politicians are simply calling the FF industry "Evil"...and that industry "gets it"...
>Given that IMO everyone that matters "Gets It" for the long run, the current price hike is due to Putin messing with a delicate "Transition Period" for the industry...on top of the COVID ups and downs that affected short term planning and supplies.
>For a predictable...and safe...world order, we need to squeeze Putin by the neck (i.e. choke off his oil revenues) until he's gone from power...that means getting help from other countries that have much more oil and gas than we, Japan, or the EU have...it's not stupidity...just painful.
