Voices: We’re going to pay



The chief executive officer of ConocoPhillips tells us if we don’t let big oil have its way, we’re going to see an even bigger oil crisis than the ones we’ve had in the past.

This is exactly the reason we need to shut down big oil. There is no reason the oil companies couldn’t invest the record-breaking profits they drained from the citizens in developing the leases they already held when they and the previous oil company-sponsored administration began calling for desecrating the ANWR and polluting the coasts with drilling.

Now we’ve made the oil boys mad and we’re going to pay. It is time to stop all the nonsense about who’s going to get rich by raping the pocketbooks of the people of this country.
