Interesting. These two positions seem to be the offspring of radically different ideologies. On one hand, the anti-oil company notion of capping their profits. On the other, the environmentally unfriendly desire for the proliferation of oil refineries.
With regard to your suggestion of a profit cap, may I (hypothetically) inquire as to what industry and, perhaps even more specifically, what business you work in? Because I'm sure you'd agree that those profits should be capped as well.
I hate expensive gas. But sometimes we need very loud alarm bells and red flags to warn us that it is a very finite resource. I suppose that's the silver lining with regard to our petroleum predicament.
On topic . . . CO will most certainly survive the year. And, in all likelihood, many years to come.
