Among other things, I thought the hatred of fossil fuels simply came down to the oil industry primarily supporting the Republican party. Which is why the Democrats are pushing so hard for ‘green’ energy to take over, since they’d be in charge of the whole enchilada.
Just like with the border, if most people pouring across were going to vote Republican, the Dems would be the first ones screaming for a militarized border wall.
Stop using the leftist phrase “fossil fuel.”
I remember the 1970s and the anti-war movement “HELL NO WE WON’T GO! WE WON’T GO FOR TEXACO!”
Movies, like King Kong(1976) portrayed the oil industry as the villain in everything.
Then came the Arab Oil Embargo and soon the rhetoric changed...”NUKE THEIR AS$ AND TAKE THEIR GAS!”
The Alaska Pipeline, stopped by the anti oil people, was declared now to be permanently shut down. One person said it would never be finished.
I said it would be rushed through if there is ever an oil shortage. After the Arab Oil Embargo, work suddenly started on it again and it was finished.
The recent shutdown of the Keystone Pipeline is a modern scam. Sacred Indian Burial Grounds was one of the excuses used for decades. Yet other reservations in Oklahoma and New Mexico have hundreds of pipelines crossing them.
When Keystone ceased work, Canadian Pacific bought out Kansas City Southern and suddenly very long trains of Petroleum tank cars now constantly pass my house going to refineries in Texas. Some of Biden;s cronies are getting rich off the Keystone shutdown.
Promotion of abortion, support of gays, forced recycling, vegetarianism, climate change propaganda and the push for electric cars and renewable energy are all related.
They are all attempts by the left to address the population bomb issue they latched onto in the 1970’s. Basically, the human population is growing exponentially, but resources are finite. And what can we do about it before we reach a crisis point? All of the above are various ways of attempting to solve the issue. Along with supporting illegal immigration, because once their policies started to bring down the birth rate they had to solve the economic issues a declining population caused by importing working age people to continue economic growth which would have went negative naturally with a declining population.
Oil is abiotic. No such thing as fossil fuel.
Some people have such a strong hatred of everything even themselves everything is a target.
One will burn down everything just to rule over the ashes.
Petroleum, a.k.a. fossil fuel, is used for much more than burning for power generation. The climate change cultists seem to all have smart phone made from petroleum based plastics and are surrounded by hundreds of goods that could not be produced without petroleum. The cult also fails to understand that food production would be impossible without diesel fuel. If diesel fuel and other “fossil fuels” were banned agricultural would revert to horses and food production would quickly drop to starvation levels. Consider the number of horses that would be needed even for subsistence farming with each horse emitting a cloud of greenhouse gas flatulence.
People who think Bambi is reality and that electricity comes out of a wall.
Energy independence makes the United States more powerful.
Low prices allows business’s to produce more stuff here and not overseas. Low prices puts more money in everyone’s pockets and not the gov’t who you would be less dependent on.
