Our greed has actually deprived us of oil...
Don't confuse greed with myopia. Forgoing greater profits in the long run in exchange for smaller short run profits is not a fault of greed, but of myopic decision making. The truly greedy person would have left the $10 dollar a barrel oil in the ground and pumped out the $70 dollar a barrel oil years later.
