Extreme Governmental/Political Cynicism.

Start wars, sanctions, create instability, tax the living beejesus out of everything, even skim off cream off on pump-and-dump schemes, then complain about evil big oil when prices go up.

Big Oil’s War-Related Profits Anger Governments

• Supermajors are expected to post blockbuster second-quarter profits as higher oil and gas prices from the U.S.-Iran conflict boosted earnings across the sector.
• Politicians are again targeting Big Oil, with President Trump accusing fuel retailers of price gouging and European lawmakers calling for windfall profits to fund climate action.
• The industry argues geopolitical disruptions—not corporate actions—drove prices higher, while refining constraints and tighter fuel markets have kept gasoline and diesel prices elevated.

> Meanwhile, in the EU, a group of European Parliament members from Green parties have demanded that Big Oil pay for making the bloc “heatwave proof”, accusing the industry of enriching itself on climate destruction. “The five biggest fossil fuel companies must foot the bill to make sure all public buildings and homes in the EU are heatwave-proof, human-friendly, cool spaces,” the MEPs wrote.

Well that's a change from "isolating the EU against winters", that's what giving all the housing stock that "isolation quality mark" randing from A to F, right? Right???
