I think the ecowankers are actually clueless about just how much of their daily lives revolve around energy products and by products. As evidenced by their means of getting to protest down to the clothes and equipment they use. Fidiots would be a kind description.
Yeah, I liked the day they put 700 kayaks (made from oil) into SF bay to protest oil production. Most were also wearing windbreakers made from oil, and of course their kayak paddles are also made from oil.
It was an oil orgy that protested oil!
100% correct.
Here’s what i like to suggest to the carbon Luddites:
You carbon Luddites could solve the problem you’ve created by ALL of you simply not using ANY carbon based energy or carbon based products.
No natural gas to heat your houses, no gasoline for your cars, no electricity from coal or NG for your houses, no medicines, clothing or soaps made from petroleum or NG, nothing that was hauled in a truck or train that runs on carbon fuel, no lubricants made from petroleum, and no products that contain plastic.
Also, no plumbing which uses smelted copper pipes or plastic pipes. No wiring which uses smelted copper with plastic insulation. No nails, screws, or rebar from smelted iron or recycled steel.
No cement made by burning coal, oil or NG used in your concrete and mortar. No glass made via energy-intensive methods.
No sheetrock made in factories run by electricity and made from gypsum mined and hauled to the factor via machines run with diesel. No lumber cut and milled with machines run by gasoline and electricity and dried in kilns fired by natural gas. No brick made from mined clay and fired in kilns fired with natural gas.
No electric cars made with rare-earth magnets refined with fossil energy.
No electronics made with elemental materials refined with fossil energy and manufactured with electrically driven machinery.
No synthetic fabrics made from petroleum or NG. No clothing manufactured with electrically driven machinery.
No medications manufactured from petroleum or NG derived chemicals.
And none of this stuff is to be hauled to your with trucks run with gasoline or diesel. And no earth moved or dug with earth-moving machines run by diesel. And none of any of the machines mentioned above can be with or from or by products derived from coal, gas, and oil.
