PARIS — The global economic crisis is leading international oil and gas companies to under-invest in new capacity, which threatens to spark renewed sharp increases in oil prices once the crisis ends, executives from two of Europe’s leading oil companies warned today.

“Definitely this crisis will leave strong traces in the long term and we will probably not see the same world anymore,” Total SA Chief Executive Christophe de Margerie said at an oil industry conference.

COMMENT:  Remember, you did not read that.  Do not read any comments by oil companies.  They are evil and have led us to damnation.  We don't need their miserable carbon product at low prices.  We have Gore to guide us.  So what if gas at the pump goes to five dollars a gallon.  So what if the TV goes out.  Serves us right.  American Idol is a capitalist conspiracy.

These anti-Earth oil criminals make me so mad.  And then I neglect my thatched roof.
