The oil, gas and coal companies are investing huge amounts of money on television ads to help shape public opinion in their favor. They constantly talk about how they are doing all these great things and how we have all the energy we need right here in this country.
Well, instead of spending their huge profits on convincing the American people that they are working in our best interest, why don't they spend that money on developing alternative fuels? Hello?

Re: You know what pisses me off?
Sat, July 5, 2008 - 11:05 PMI don't watch tv so I don't see any of this. Big oil & coal loving the biosphere as partners with the earth...and yes I'm sure the visuals are really, really good. What else are they going to spend their billions/trillions on? I guess the corporate owner-trolls could use these commercials to help establish an insanity defense if they ever get hauled in front of a jury full of climate refugees...snarf.
This truly is Year 28 of the Reagan Era and we're literally watching our planet get ready to fucking kill us. NASA's Hansen scares the shit out of me to tell the truth. He's been screaming bloody murder for a LONG time. Him, and the other 30,000 climate, weather, ocean, etc scientists that are screaming in the dark...
