I wonder how they come up with numbers like that. Not to mention the per-person break down cost of that if we factored in every person living in the industrialized world. Oh yeah, and how do we know we haven't already started paying down on that?
Too many questions, so few answers.

It's not their jobs to pay for that. They exist solely to provide a product at the lowest cost possible. It's not like they won't expend their profits in the pursuit of that though. Their very survival might depend on it. The oil companies have their infrastructure at risk. Billions, perhaps trillions at risk.

A little alarmist, don't you think? Guess not. Oh well, at least the future has never looked brighter if you're bacteria.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
