Planet suffers from ‘big oil,’ weak politicians and misinformed citizens

Right now, we have an energy policy that is rigged to boost the profits of big oil companies at the expense of average Americans.

CEOs are raking in record profits while climate change ravages our planet and our people — all because the wealthiest industry in the history of our planet has bribed politicians into complacency in the face of climate change.

Town governments who fear powerful, yet misinformed “citizens groups” oppose wind and solar projects. Retirement pensions are heavily invested in big oil companies.

I’m sick of conservative nonsense and lies about green technology being worse than oil, coal and nukes. The gloves are off.
