Far from "die hards" Steve,the facts fully support mine others views that oil/coal/nat gas are all going to be by far the most significant producers of world energy demands,Not wind Not solar.

Oil,like other commodities are all traded on an international markets, the profits can go to the Saudis' or to those who pay taxes here-that benefit ALL Americans.Before you trash big oil take a look at the tax they pay,the jobs-high paying jobs they provide and benefits of having natural resources available here in this country,one look at economies that don't like Japan show are fortunate we are.
Taxes and Tax rates of big oil;
ExxonMobil paid $146 billion in taxes; Chevron paid $85 billion; and ConocoPhillips paid $58 billion over the last five years.

In terms of their effective tax rates, the big three oil companies dont get off easily either. Exxon had an effective tax rate of 37 percent, Chevrons effective tax rate was 39 percent, and ConocoPhillipss was a whopping 74 percent. The U.S. corporate tax rate is 35 percent.

In fact, the big three oil companies paid multiples more, in both total dollars and effective tax rates, than such administration favorites as Apple, Google and General Electric.
