uh huh, uh huh, and WHY do you suppose EVERYTHING involves the use of petroleum?

It's a classic capitalist evasion of externalities.

Every single drill site is toxic waste disaster, that no one ever has to pay for (except of course, the impoverised who live down stream).

To ignore the many gigawatts of free energy beamed in from space because petroleum will still be used in some way is evading the question.

The fact remains: free fusion power is heating and lighting our homes every time we open a window shade.

And if the combined mafia influence of the contruction-mafia and the petro-mafia didn't have us building houses with NO relation to how they point at the sun, we would use that energy to MUCH greater efficiency...



have you ever been to a drill site? tons where I live. I'd have a picnic out there today if it weren't so cold. Gotta watch for h2s I suppose.


Yes, in fact I worked on them. Enjoy your picnic on top of all the sludge buried next to the wellhead...


Oh, happy to just drill and frack through the aquifer slash water table. How much water does it take to drill?
