Unfortunately, large sections of policymaking are flat-out owned by petroleum producers and refiners. Until they are chased out of the policy arena, we won't get anywhere.
Anyone who lived through 1974 should have known what did happen, would surely happen again. But people seem to prefer the lies about abundance to the reality of the need to change.

stink and stank are pretty good....talking Republicans...dink and dank, spit and spat, shit and shat....oh oh.... my kingdom for a beer and a few more of those. Pass the pretzels, will ya.
The oil industry routinely tells lies. True believers expressing their certainty that cheap sweet crude will never run out are like Linus keeping his lonely vigil in the pumpkin patch.
ugh...we are addicts...lets just face it...we can blame the politicians who are in the pockets of the oil companies...its a given but tomorrow we will fill our tanks...

ReplyDeleteYou're not kidding.
DeleteAnd don't even get me started on the XL pipeline !!! Talk about a bunch of lies ...
ReplyDeleteOn another note: is it "Bold Faced Lies" or "Bald Faced Lies"???
But it's about jobs, Anita! It's not about the stock that Congressional members hold in the companies that are set to make money on this deal.
DeleteI've seen it both ways. Bold faced lies, bald faced lies. Let's to crazy and use both.
