"This transmission is coming to you..."
Is it just me, or is there something sinister about energy companies? They're all doomed. Oil, gas, coal, etc. WILL run out. Exxon-Mobil is guaranteed to either go out of business or change completely. I'm not opposed to oil drilling and coal mining, per se, but I can't shake the uneasy feeling I get when I browse something like International Coal Group's homepage. They proudly state that they're building a new headquarters in West Virginia. What I wonder is how long it'll take them to totally deplete the area's resources. I also wonder how selfish it is for someone to invest in such a company knowing full well that they will exploit the shit out of the land and its people. Those poor, poor people. It's their land, not some legal fiction known as a corporation. Why don't they tell the company and the government to go fuck themselves, organize a cooperative, and reap as much of the benefit of the rape of their land as they can? I mean, if they're going to shred the shit out of their environment, they might as well keep as much of the profit as they can. Certainly the executives shouldn't make more than the miners do. The miners risk their lives while the suits shuffle papers in their air-conditioned offices, and it's the miner who dies while the executive just has to apologize to the public and the media. Fuck that shit.
