I've got news for you - my idealistic little snowflake - but law and regulation doesn't achieve that. If it did, we would have no Bernie Madoff, no Allen Stanford, no Tyco, no Enron, no Bear-Sterns, etc.Think of Enron. The business of business is to make as much money as possible, with only law or regulation limiting the schemes they employ.
And that is the beauty of the free market. Without the government illegally stepping in, innovators would have immediately gotten to work and created an alternative to oil. The "green" energy you so desperately love would have been developed about 7 decades ago. Just another example of left-wing policy and ideology stymieing innovation and progress.J.D. Rockefeller famously bought up every oil barrel to prevent his competition from getting their product to market
