They have a pavlovian response to any fossil fuel - MUST KILL IT! I suppose they prefer that fossil fuels be transported via rail and truck instead of pipelines, obviously much 'dirtier', and more costly, methods.
Fossil fuels will be our predominate energy source for decades to come. Limiting their availability will only drive prices higher and erode living standards.
Total fucking idiots, and Joe just does what they tell him to.
