The situation of cheap oil lasted far far longer than a mere 40 years.  Cars started being run on gasoline to use a waste product from making lamp oil over 100 years ago.

I wasn't referring specifically to oil when mentioning excessive corporate power. That began on a small scale late 1970s then accelerated big-time following Reagan's busting of the unions in the early 1980s and has been the Energizer Bunny ever since. Keeps going and going and going.

No you're not getting it.  I'm referring to cheap oil energy, not the power of oil corporations.  Oil was cheap for a long long long time. So long a time everyone thought it would last forever.  Obviously it hasn't and it won't.

As to corporate power, a great deal of corporate monopolies exist now due to governmental collusion.  They create regulations to prevent completion, there's a revolving door between the regulators and the corporations.  It didn't really start with Regan it started during the New Deal.
