Can Big Oil Balance Shareholder Interest Against National Interest?

Very informitive. I always suspecrted some colusion about batteries for EV's. The SEC should have done something about this. This is clearly monopolizing.
As far as imported oil goes I think there should be a large import duty on imported oil. This would encourage both conservation and development of domestic sources (oil sands, deep water gullf drilling). It is a no brainer. The higher percentage imported oil we use would drive up the price and reduce the profits of the oil refineries that are run by big oil thus encouraging domestic production and alternatives. No one ever talks about this. This method is used to protect many US industries and produts!

Does Big Oil's Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?

Proven reserves are a falacy!

Does Big Oil's Apathy Justify Proposals to Tax Windfall Profits?

Why not tax only oil that is imported? This would discourage oil importation, which is the big problem in the US, encourage domestic oil exploration as well as conservation. Why isn't anyone talking about this? It might seen like protectionism but China and India both have price controls on fuels which is basically a form of subsudies for there industries.
