11. Condoleezza has oil consultant firm, spoke up for Tillerson.

She was considered a Russian scholar and scolded Russia in the past when working in the Bush administration.

I am thinking there are many Republicans seeing the sanctions against Russia as interfering with massive profits to be made.

We are approaching an energy production fork in the road. Our world can now run on renewables. No one know that better than the oil industry.

If the oil industry and sell-out politicians move fast they can greatly delay their obsolescence while we get to endure pollution for decades.

I am reminded of the General Motors successful effort to get rid of the competition electric trolley cars in cities.
