So? You want to be cynical?

Try the cynicism of the western powers non-support of the aspiration of those dying in the Gulf (Bahrain) protesting the Despotic Royal Families control over their lives and their hording of the wealth of their extortive oil sale policies. And they support a lot of the non OPEC countries price of oil. So de facto ? you are supporting extortive oil prices (or being supported by them).

Why do you think there is so much organized opposition to the development of energy sources that are not dependent on OPEC oil?

Replace petroleum based energy ? then such actions as we have today in Libya either will not happen or will happen without the mantra of "it's all about oil."
