Therefore it's nobody's fault and all the protesters should just shut up and everything will work out just fine.

You're being wilfully obtuse. The oil companies do not dictate what vehicles the auto industry manufactures, or what vehicles customers choose to buy. If you think people are burning too much fuel in their cars, put the blame on the industry that deserves the blame.
Meanwhile, I don't think the protesters should shut up. But their right to free speech stops well short of trespassing on private property to shut down other people's equipment and prevent other people from doing their jobs and earning their living.
