The "our fair share" idea leaves me with a certain amount of uneasiness. You could easily surmise that somehow we have been getting screwed by some evil business types, in this case BIG OIL. Is that really the case here? I don't mean to give you a course in capitolism here but really the job of any business is to make profits. How do we make profits? It is extremely simple. You buy low and sell higher. Big Oil, medium Oil and even small Oil have been doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Negotiate their best possible deal on the supply side.
If we haven't been getting "our fair share" then to me - and I readily admit I am no expert in the O & G industry- the real blame must fall on the original supplier. Gee wonder who that was? Hint, think previous governments.
Clearly to me, this whole thing is a diversionary tactic with a nasty twist. Think election, think put the blame on someone else.
