Has any government over the past 50 years actually done anything about these companies profiteering over oil price rises?
Because I’ve seen a lot of news articles like this over the years saying they’re going to take action, but I don’t remember any government actually doing anything about it.

“It will not be tolerated, but I won’t do anything to stop it, and yes – my decision to not give new oil and gas licences in the North Sea so we rely on Middle Eastern states, may be a bit silly now, but hey ho, time to pay up peasants.”
The only person who’s allowed to profit of energy is Miliband himself

The whole reason why we have the conflict in Iran is also the origin story of British Petroleum.
For those interested read about Anglo-Iranian oil company which later became BP and the 1953 coup instigated by Churchill, Eisenhower and co. for oil greed.
