45. Calling Bullshit on Energy Hypocrites

Tue Nov 18, 2014, 01:01 PM

Nov 2014

You drive a gas burning car.

You heat your home with natural gas.

You spend most of your disposable income on products made from petroleum.
...and.....

You oppose the KXL pipeline?
Excuse me, but something is ass backwards here....

If you didn't buy it, the oil companies would have gone out of business long ago....

If you didn't buy it, many of your sons and daughters wouldn't be in uniform protecting the thugs that sell it to us in the Middle East.

If you didn't buy it they wouldn't be building KXL in the first place.

We've already voted to allow the KXL by the choices we made long ago. A choice of an easy life powered by petroleum. When you decide to return to the lifestyle of the 1800's then you have some room to speak.
