“I think in the end, you know, we're just addicted to oil. We've got to overcome that addiction, and we need some serious accountability of big oil, because big oil, like so much of big businesses, has just colonized our government, colonized the regulatory agencies so we can't impose any kind of accountability on them.” ThinkingKnowsNeedsKindEndsBigsGovernmentSeriousOvercomingAddictionOilAgencyAccountabilityBig BusinessBig Oil Author:Cornel West
