Reduce Killings by Increasing Production of Oil and Gas

EIN News says, "Cost Hike on Shell Iraq Deal    Iraq's gas deal with supermajor Shell, to capture and exploit associated gas from its giant southern oilfields, is expected to produce 2 billion cubic feet per day and cost $17.2 billion, according to an official agreement summary. (upstreamonline.com)".

   

Controlling the revenues from oil & gas is one of the major reasons Iraqis kill each other.

   

If your compassion is to reduce the killing, you must make oil and gas cheaper. Here are some analogies: Many people die in the drug wars, because drugs are expensive. Few people die from food controversies, because food is cheap.

   

You can make oil and gas cheap by petitioning your government to remove inhibitions from oil and gas drilling companies, which will allow greater production and automatically reduce prices. In addition to saving lives, you will have the benefit of lower gasoline prices and reduced home heating costs.
