I think about it like this, when I read about peak oil I admit I freaked out a little. WHen they started raising gas prices, I thought to myself, "Good, this will force people to consume less and help fund companies like BP to raise enough funds for alt energy" when everyone else was pissed off.
Nowadays I'm feeling more like I've been somewhat duped. I don't know who they speak for but I will say it does help big oil more so than anyone else I can think of.
I'm pretty sure this is astroturf. Just like for movies, publishers pay people to form queues and get on the TV news.
That may be true for movies and the like (first thing that immediately comes to mind is "oh hell, I'll never get one before the end of the year..."
