Olive oil in Torah has a central function giving fuel to the Golden Menorah in the Temple; the Talmud-Book of Law describes how the purest oil comes from the first drop of the olive and how it is that oil covers water–Moshiach is from the word Meshach/Anointing.
Since the industrial revolution the world stays lit using the oil from the earth; it is the squeezing of the earth that causes the oil to flow–we are obviously wearing out the earth while her treasured secrets are being exploited by politician for their clandestine agenda.
For whatever profits the oil companies and politician exact from the earth the devastation visited upon the our land far outweighs any consideration of money. The delicate ecco system of the Gulf of Mexico means that life will not return to this area for decades–the price for doing business.
Moshiach is related to oil through the phenomenon of oil rising to the surface indicating that Moshiach will bring a new knowledge to the world which will be even higher than the Torah which is rooted in water which comes from a high place down, oil on the other hand ascends.
