As I understand things, we tend to pick the low hanging fruit before we go and fetch the ladder. The crude we obtained because it spurted out of the ground from natural pressure is going to be cheaper than the crude we get from drilling a hole in the seabed 1,000 miles from land and 10,000 feet below the earth's crust.

Are the oil companies profiteering? I'm sure they are, but the motorists lobby are a pretty powerful bunch. Look at how they brought the country to a stand still a decade ago by blockading the refineries.
