Oil (easy to get at anyway) is running out. If we have to risk the Earth to squeeze a few more years out of this current way of life... then that is screwed. The sooner we make it too expensive (prohibiting risky exploration), the sooner we'll move on to the next generations of energy production.

I haven't bought BP gasoline in over a month (previously nearly always bought BP). I know it's mostly affecting the vendor, but then maybe he'll switch brands he sales. Hopefully BP stock drops so low they get bought out and the executives there get downsized.
