What's with all the TV commercials from the oil companies lately?

Question

I'm noticing a lot of them about the environment and the future. Is it just a PR move from the same oil companies enjoying record profits from us having to pay so much at the pump? The same oil companies who won't lower their prices even though supply is up right now? Is it just a PR move?

Answer 1

It is a PR move.  They are all coming out with things like how they are going "green"; looking to natural sources (i.e. biofuels) which harm the environment just as much as oil.

It's terrible really, but evil industries do this all the time.  Just look at Milk.  They only tell you things based on their best interests, not in the interests of the people.

Answer 2

The oil companies will run short of supply before long. They're getting profit while they can.

What will you do during the Die-Off?
