It would be nice if a carload of guys followed "Brain" here around and beat the stuffing out of him every time he went to use "fossil fuels".

Fill up his gas tank? A beating.

Turn on a light in his house? A beating.

Use the stove? A beating.

Turn up the thermostat? A beating.

Not endorsing the idea, but the irony is funny.

What kind of beating? Like one would use on a rented mule maybe? Just for starters.
