nice. it's amazing to see people stand up and make changes in their life that will help not only themselves but others.
- the 2 hours i save every day with my new commute all goes to trolling on the QOOB!iCanHasQBN

humans are not dependent on oil — our population is. when the oil goes, 90% of the population goes with it.

- we wear clothes made in sweat shops and are against slavery.
- we buy and use oil products but are against the oil industry
- we are against war but elect politicians who aren't
- we buy products in a capitalist society but are against greedAll admitted hypocrites please add to this list..
All America-Bashers GFY- Again, rather than spewing pointless invective at those of us who want solutions, try proposing some yourself.Continuity
- Americans
are the core
problems!utopian - do you actually read anything i write? i'm not saying lets stop oil 100% by tomorrow. i'm saying lets be responsible with it.iCanHasQBN

And, "Can I believe it?" Yes, I can.
This is the root of what I found disgusting and hypocritical in the American administration's response to the BP Deepwater disaster - it was merely happenstance that it was a 'foreign' company that was caught out. On any other day it could have been any of the other oil companies out there, pushing limits and flouting regulation. Limits that were pushed not merely by begrudging permission, rather actual express promotion, faciliation and endorsement. Regulations that were essentially quashed by the Minerals Management Agency - an agency specifically left-be by Obama, as appeasement to the Right.
It's almost suss how the whole thing panned out - the demi-sacrifice of a non-US interest to make a political point. I don't believe that, of course, but it does ring a bell as an idea.

this is more profiteering. Supply is threatened prices raise, big industrial companies get cleanup contracts, oil and energy becomes an even bigger political issue and lead t. There is no partisan environmental mandate here its the same old story since oil was a billion dollar industry.

Yeah, just saw on CNN. This is fucking nuts. In a way I am glad all of this is happening, maybe it'll finally wake Americans up. The Right to Pollute is not one of your freedoms.

- blitz, don't be ignorant. we're like 5% of the world's population, yet use 25% of the oil.iCanHasQBN
- regardless, i can't believe you have this "it's ok because everyone else is doing it" mentality.iCanHasQBN
- you're glad this is happening b/c we use 25% of world's oil? you're an idiotbliznutty
- what? that's not what i'm saying at all. people need to realize how disgusting oil is so that we WON'T use so much of it.iCanHasQBN
- you're are a ridiculous bleeding heart liberal.. you're heart is WAY bigger than your brainbliznutty
- ah yes, excellent insight.. just calling someone a "bleeding heart liberal". wow. impressive.iCanHasQBN
- never heard that one before! *yawn*.iCanHasQBN
- so if one is concerned about pollution in the water and the air we breathe, that makes them a baaad person, right??iCanHasQBN
- yeah.. you're being an asshole.bogue
- in your mind oil = America = bad (If you had any brain you would see its not that simple)bliznutty
- So you're ok with this outrageous dependency on oil we have? The current situation suits you just fine?iCanHasQBN
- and America DOES = oil. Our entire way of depends on it. Our way of life needs to change.iCanHasQBN
- hey iCanHasBrain, you assume i don't have a heart or b/c i don't agree with your anti-Americanismbliznutty

- ...that i read it.iCanHasQBN
- this post is why i hate dimwitted lefties who are so concerned about the air and the environmentbliznutty
- maybe one day you'll realize that humans cannot breathe or drink money. at least give a shit about future generations.iCanHasQBN
- thats the problem with right-wingers. so self-involved and individualistic. all about me me me. the definition of selfish.iCanHasQBN
- god you're ridiculous..bliznutty
- Your notion that it's a bad thing to care about the environment is what's ridiculous.iCanHasQBN
- my notion is that people like you that 'care about the environment' are not thinking the whole thing throughbliznutty
- again you're heart is bigger than your brain.. and your heart is NOT bigger than minebliznutty
- blitz, are you even aware of the very root problem leading to our irresponsible use of oil?iCanHasQBN

Look at Chicago and Pennsylvania. They have the most nuclear reactors in the world. Ask any "tax payer" if they have ever seen a decrease in their electric bill. If anything I'll bet they have and will this winter see an increase.
