  More importantly, the evil people running the petroleum industry are in fact old, but that is not why they are evil.

  Evil people in positions of power tend to be old because a) it takes time to accumulate power, and b) folks with power tend to keep it till they’re dead. It’s just statistics - it doesn’t mean oldness causes evil.
