@Alex_Verbeek ... it's #UsThePeople, too. Majorities are simply not going to vote for a party telling them to stop eating meat, stop flying around the globe, and stop subsidies for the #OilAndGasIndustry so gas at the pump will become more expensive... At least in democracies politicians must win votes to govern.
We are were we are, because this is what the majority of people wanted .. whether it's #Christofascism or #Speedlimits on the Autobahn... Accountability starts with everyone of us! #WeAreIt

The oil and gas industry is increasingly dependent on the manufacture of plastics — and petrochemical lobbyists have endorsed a bill to roll back regulation and increase government assistance. Even though the bill itself is a legislative longshot, federal agencies under Donald Trump could adopt some of its most extreme provisions without congressional approval, Daniel Rosenberg, director of federal toxics policy at the Natural Resources Defense Council told @ProPublica.

@ianRobinson destruction everywhere and the #OilAndGasIndustry is nowhere to be seen ... Neither are corporations that profit from the causes or from the results.
The only reliable source of support is the federal government. That's why paying taxes is patriotic and voting for science based governments is so important. Don't think that banning books or the mentioning of "gay" or "climate change" is going to help anyone survive or recover from the next disaster and neither does prayers, by the way!

@Snoro unfortunately, the unraveling of our environment is just beginning. They say, "we are all in this together", but that's a lie. We are all affected, but the #OilAndGasIndustry and #PetroStates are just nowhere to be seen and keep polluting... #StopOilNow

@ABBFossilFuels the book "Fire Weather" by John Vaillant also has a great introduction what hellish nightmare #TarSand oil production is. My understanding is that it basically uses millions of gallons of water and burns 1000s of cubic ft of fossil fuel to get a comparably tiny amount of oil and leaves toxic sludge and contaminated water behind. This only works commercially because the #OilAndGasIndustry can use the environment as free dumpster for their poisonous waste and dirt cheap gas prices.
The book as shows what disastrous consequences #ClimateBreakDown has that is fuelled by #oilsands and the continued use of #FossilFuels.
