EnergyTomorrow ad

[dragoon84]

This is pure corporate propaganda. It really is, as another commenter said, breath-takingly transparent and obvious propaganda.

Oil is at the heart of everything that is wrong with this this civilization. We must find something else to power our homes and cars, and find other things to make plastics and fertilizers and all the rest.

Then, we must make sure that no single entity can ever control us like the oil companies, ever again.

The Tyranny of Oil must end.

Here is the scoop on who this Beelzebub is:

Brooke Alexander (born December 13, 1963) is an American actress. She is best known for her role as con-artist Samantha Markham on As The World Turns (1994–1996). She then became a talking head at Fox news.

Someone should check her hairline to see if there is a human number hidden in there... a number greater than 665 but less than 667.

Who is this creepy old cunt?

[kirbycuz]

Pure and simple oil industry propaganda...these people have no shame...I don't know how they sleep at night.

Commuting to work is an anachronism. How many people do nothing but sit in front of a PC all day long? If we setup so they could do it from home, we could recapture trillions: less office space, less commute time, less commute fuel, cars, less stress. Live video is dirt cheap. Instant face to face collaboration, but dramatically lower corporate cost of doing business. It also expands the worker pool to semi-retired, disabled, working moms. What's needed to do it? A POTUS willing to lead.

Even if there were no threat of climate change, unless the United States re-tools and re-builds it's energy infrastructure around sustainable non-fossil resources, our systemic disadvantage in oil-reserves will guarantee a massive transfer of wealth out of our country as the value of foreign reserves increase exponentially by comparison to ours. It is a strategic imperative that we initiate, create and dominate a large scale green energy industry.

So why do Exxons shareholders vote consitently against the expansion of there business in "Green" areas?

[COSMOTOPPER777]

I'm sorry, I don't get the connection. Our strategic opportunity is to create a completely sustainable energy industry that undercuts oil primarily for transportation. That will extend the life of our oil reserves for all the other critical uses that don't involve combustion, like fertilizers and insecticides for food production. We can cultivate and harvest massive amounts of plankton if we just build the infrastructure to cultivate open ocean. Why don't we do that? (Greed of fossil-f corps.)

those figuers sound phoney or guessed. Who is the woman?

[CommanderSix]

Some of the best propaganda out there. I love this commercail.

[fuckyourass1]

PS. While you complain about energy use on the computer, I might remind you that you just consumed some sort of fossil fuel. Unless of corse you get your power from nuclear energy. But you're probably opposed to that too.

Now go live in a cave and have a cookie.

[katakanadian]

My electricity comes from hydro. Not perfect but better than most people have. I use a lower energy laptop with the screen brightness turned down. I am very diligent about turning off lights and minimizing heating and cooling. I have great reduced my consumption of meat and dairy. I buy very little non-essential 'stuff'.

Demanding perfection from people is just a lame red herring. I probably do better than 90% of my peers.

No one has to live in a dark cave.

[3swelldogs3]

and all the things that you have were made or used with oil in one way or another. for example the machines that made that made your laptop...refrigerator...your clothes...your toothbrush...ANY plastic products...I take you don't won anything plastic?? delivering of all these products...there isn't one thing that we don't use oil...heart valves...look up the list...can you live with out the use of these products??

[katakanadian]

There are a lot of things we don't have a good substitute for oil yet. That makes it even more important that we don't waste oil on stuff where we don't really need it.

Using oil to build a wind turbine is far more justifiable than using oil to chauffeur kids to school which just trains them to be fat, lazy, and impatient.

Stop being a jerk who demands perfection from the sincere but imperfect greenies as way to justify purely perfectly selfish.

[3swelldogs3]

I've met loads of people that say things like...don't use that...don't do that...it wastes energy. lol...then they turn right around and do something that really freaking is a waste of energy. like it or not...because everything is connected to oil...we WILL be waste full. I'm not young...and I can't say that I've met anyone yet who truly has sacrificed for the planet. yes...some are more waste full...but NO ONE can criticize because they aren't truly sacrificing either.

[katakanadian]

"60 million cars and 160 million households" for 60 years.

Um. What about the other 200 million+ cars and households and all the plastics and manufacturing etc sustained by oil? Any increase in domestic oil production would probably be used up faster than it can be built if people continue to embrace the folly of business-as-usual.

What about the destruction of fragile wilderness to feed greed and laziness? What about our responsibility to the world?

This ad is a murder plot.

[fuckyourass1]

And how exactly do YOU get to work. Assuming that you actually have a job. So let me get this straight...you're against adding to our ability to provide domestic oil? That's kind of like the following....

I have $1000 in bills to pay, but only make $500. I offer to give you another $250, and you refuse it because it still isn't enough to pay your whole bill.

Hmmmm.....

[katakanadian]

I commute by bicycle to work and to training between 100 and 200 km per week. I typically buy gas every 3-5 weeks for the car that I use minimally.

I avoided getting stuck with your hypothetical $1000 bill a long time ago by choosing to live close to work and school and not foolishly living beyond my means. Your offer of $250 is like the free first hit of crack that dope dealers use to hook gullible people with.
