yes we are to dependant on oil. nearly everything you use has used or made form oil at somepoint in its production.

sticking with the scottish fuel crisis, the grangemouth oil refinery make £3million pre tax per DAY.
oil currently sits at around $118 a barrel it was around $80 a year ago. so it wouldnt surprise me. they could get away with charging that now and we would still buy it.

the old saying of the rich get richer the poor poorer springs to mind

soon well not be able to afford oil. look around. old people are freezing as they cant afford it. more and more people are giving up the car as they cant afford fuel. gas and leccy have both went crazy in the last few years
