Did big oil infiltrate the debate?

Personally i found it very, very strange that the second question about oil was asked by a male in a section of the audience that comprised entirely of a group of 10 males ALL in business suits.
Taking a closer look at the audience, ALL of the other sections of the audience comprised of males and females dressed differently.

Very very strange and looked like a setup.

Romney is in favor of Big Oil, the Keystone pipeline, companies able to sit idle on land contracts for energy extraction.

Yet no one mentioned (did I miss it?) that it's been more profitable for energy companies to export energy than to use it to increase domestic supply to lower prices.
