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?

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.

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.)

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

[randyman1955]

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.

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

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