I had to sign off on a bunch of "conflict mineral" sheets the last few months that certified I wasn't using illegally mined minerals in steel production. It's commonplace with diamonds and expanding to steel making, why shouldn't it include oil? Or do we just accept oil as being too large a resource to control, thereby turning a blind eye to questionable (unethical) means of extraction?
I admit I don't know much about worldwide O&G production, but isn't that a legitimate question?

And that's the problem that I see right now, the protesters don't care on a global sense, they don't go after the Venezuela's and the Middle Eastern States for their environmental record or human rights records, and they certainly don't care about the mega carriers bringing Oil into Canada and the U.S.
I guess its easier to protest our energy industry,
