Iraqi elections

This goes through my head every time I read a headline about the eight million Iraqis who just voted, or the thousands in this country who cast a proxy vote.

Re: vote for oil or else

thing is, they want to make money -now-, not in 100 years time... their interest lies in keeping us using oil for as long as possible, squeeze the last scrap from the ground (and where will we put all that carbon?) because they have a systematic and business monopoly at present whereas they can't guarantee that in the future.

also, alternative energy is inherently distributed in source, i.e. on your roof, so they can't control it so well, spinning the system (they bought a president!) to get absolute maximum return.
