@Peebo-Thuhlu You make a really good point that I didn't pick up on. His rant transverses so many cultural positions. How can anyone possibly defend coal and oil producers as the "good guys" when we know so damn much about how they've treated the land and people where they dig up their black gold? There have been equally atrocious behavior in nuclear mining (hell all mining) and it sickens me. We have to face the fact that the civilized/technological world is an addict and energy is it's drug of choice. Everyone's hands are dirty. I'm with the group that acknowledges this and seeks to do better.
Why is it so?
