     What's that line about history rhyming rather than repeating?

     We need to be asking our elected politicians exactly why they want to keep us dependant on oil - it is a fundamental supply chain risk for virtually everything, why do we keep swinging back to it?

     The cynical may regard this as a rhetorical question - "duh! It's corruption!", but very keen to have some politicians asked about this directly and not allowed to fudge the question.
