Well, well, well Mr Staines, aren't you clever. Suppose the government did not set the regulatory bar so high that
the cost of compliance made it impossible to contemplate a profit.

Is it reasonable to expect oil to climb up to $150 a barrel? 

Why Mr Staines is the world awash in oil? It was 'common
knowledge'  in the 1970s and the 1980s and the 1990s that
the world was running out of oil; wasn't it?

What happened? 

Climate change is a hoax. As was the propaganda that 
oil was running out. Think of the trillions of dollars 
extracted from consumers pockets and paid into the 
coffers of those with a vested interest in that scam
Mr Staines. 

Climate change is impossible to prove or disprove.

It is simply another way to extract money from the pockets 
of a gullible public. And as I am sure you know the public
are nothing if not gullible. Like sheep — lining up
to be sheared. Sheep never notice when one of the flock
has its throat cut by the shepherd. The shepherd
loves rack of lamb.
