I'm sure you are familiar with the web site MineWeb.
They had a recent article about the tar sands and Congress intentionally fucking things up...

I think it's more than just control; it's anti-development, anti-growth. These people are like the Amish, they want to freeze time, no more development, leave the third world in poverty. As long as they can still drive their little POS prius and drink expensive wine, they don't care at all and never will.
California recently wanted to pass a law where people would have to have thermostats hooked into a government network where the government could control the heat and temperature of your home. According to the thinking of those politicians, if the temperature went higher than they believed you should have it, a fine would have been levied.
Thankfully the idea never made it out of committee in the CA legislature, but ideas like this will be back and back with more force the next time around.
It's all about control. Don't ever believe otherwise. It's also about weakening the country too.
