This whole ‘dirty oil money’ postulation is utterly preposterous. If bountiful supplies of oil from the Middle East ended tomorrow civilisation would falter and widespread disorder would take a grip on the world in a matter of days. Other than water, oil, for better or worse, makes the world go round like no other substance in history. The wealth, mobility and technology of the modern world are utterly founded on it. It has accelerated human progress like nothing else. Without it, I highly doubt the internet would even exist,
Ultimately, its abundance may prove too great a price for the planet to bear, but I doubt many of those deploying that term in the context of our owners give much of a fuck about that.
Edit: Further to the above, I should add that united are wank.
