i don't think vic nor i think potus has any control. sure he COULD mandate an investigation be made, but that would be political suicide for the funding of their campaign for starters. big oil/gas has their hands in so many things that going after them would result in countless "pet projects" not getting funding.
just like there is mandatory separation of church and state, i wish there was mandatory separation of business and state. obviously that is a problem due to the federal regulations that oversee business, but if it was one directional...as in business is not allowed to interfere in politics, that would be great. looking at wider scope though, one realizes that just because a business is excluded from politics, the business owner as a private citizen would still be involved. bottom line: all solutions have evil associated so it is a matter of "pick your poison" as the average person is forgotten and made inconsequential regardless of solution.
