What most people don't understand, is if we completely do away with oil, their everyday products won't exist. There are thousands of products that partially depend on oil by-products. Think of everyday products that rely on plastics. The technology doesn't exist economically as yet to replace plastic.

Ask these enviro-weenies to look around just where they're sitting and see how much is made of plastic. As I sit here in my office, my computer, printer, modem, router, desk lamp, headphones, cord connectors, telephone, glasses, etc., consist in part of plastic. That's a short list.

Exactly.

Leftists are such dumbasses.

The same people who demonize corporations as they sit in a Starbucks, wearing their stupid branded Nikes, texting on their Apple iPhones, over a Verizon network, run on Cisco and Microsoft before they jump in their Toyotas and drive away on highways built by large construction companies...

I had to stop taking them seriously years ago, and only regard them as thieves and enemies.

Sheesh.
