I'd go along with you if oil was not one of the most profitable industries in the world ... Exxon has posted record corporate earnings many times.
We demand it be cheaper but we don't get it cheaper. The reality is that these companies try to squeeze every bit of profit out of a dollar that they can.
Corporate and social responsibility should come into play and they did not.
