As much as people complain about the price of gas, I don't see them moving close enough to their jobs to walk, or trading in their cars for bicycles or horses. Relatively inexpensive hydrocarbons have been the biggest boon to the quality of life we enjoy.
Big business makes something everyone wants or needs and hence make a profit, I don't see how that is a crime? BTW, if you look at the Forbes 400, You'll find few of those listed made their fortunes from oil and gas, most from technology, investments, or food.
