The one thing people seem to forget is the more oil we have, the lower the price and the lower the profits the oil companies make. ↗

All told, these profit levels have put the world's five largest publicly traded oil companies on track to earn more than $100 billion before year's end. Yet, at the same time that Big Oil's bottom line is going up, so are Americans' energy costs. ↗
