It's the idea that the countries that have an economic base have to support those with no base. You have massive poverty because you do nothing else if you have a valuable resource as your only income. Then hell rig the market so you can continue to do nothing to improve your own base.

We need to become energy independent even if we have to kill a few birds in the process. I hate the idea of killing anything as I'm sure every tree hugger does.

Don't make me sit in a cold house so that some snail can live, Make no mistake it will be a cold winter at my house if inflation and the carbon tax do what I expect.
