Big Oil, Big Tobacco

Most people find it hard to believe that they live among folks who are so unprincipled that they are willing to inflict great harm on others, simply because they get fabulously rich whatever process is at stake, whether that’s selling cigarettes or incinerating the planet.

We may or may not prove successful in phasing out fossil fuels.  But if we are, it will be due to some combination of market forces, government regulation, and public awareness and concern.  It will have nothing whatsoever to do with any form of conscience on the part of Big Oil.

If that doesn’t make you angry, I don’t know what to tell you.
