  Fossil fuels are from shit the dinos ate, like plants and other dumb crap. The belief that coal-rollers are cool enough to burn liquid dinosaurs is easily the single biggest lie of the oil industry.

      I mean, they already rebranded some shitty vinyl as “vegan leather”.

      That might actually stop the conservatives from using it.

    Oil is solar power with extra steps.

    Just cut out the middle man

    I mean some small part of it is dino. But yeah by biomass it’s mostly plant.

    The whole term fossil fuel is wrong.

  And Africa, and South America, and the middle east, and Europe. Don’t pretend the rest of the world isn’t still burning fossil fuels it’s not just the US

    USA is pretty much the biggest country actively fighting against better methods in favor of fossil fuels, so I’d say it’s an accurate statement

      Meanwhile, in reality, large chunks of the world still use coal as their primary power source. Hell, Germany’s coal share is higher than the US’.

        I don’t consider that, indeed. Bonus points for reading comprehension.

        USA is the only country where I hear the president say that green needs to go and fossil fuels are the way to go.

        Showing a snapshot of coal usage also makes no sense in this context. A country cannot just drop fossil fuel from one day to the next. If you check relevant data, you’ll see that the share of green fuel is actually rising in China.

        Sadly, the industry is still very corrupt, where USA is he prime example, with the president is pretty much admitting to it publicly.
