That's not even half the problem.

The Brits have been exploiting Brent Sea crude oil for decades.
I mean, we're going all the way back to Margaret Thatcher here!
The Brits whining about anyone else's oil production is a classic
example of the pot calling the kettle black.

The only real issue the Europeans have with African energy
independence is that Africa, and most of Asia, were meant to be kept in 
poverty. That way they didn't need their share of the CO2 pie, and
they could "Trade" away their share to Europe in exchange for debt
servicing. But that only works if Africa stays impoverished.

This was all spelled out in the 1980s. For real. Go find the BBC
MockuMentary:  "After the Warming."  It uses different language,
of course, but it describes exactly what I just said.
