It would be interesting to know what’s behind the sticker like the one this guy’s truck.  Obviously, America suffers its share of anti-woke, pro-Trump sentiment, which could be self-organizing.

Yet, needless to say, Big Oil may lie at the bottom of all this.

In any case, it requires some heavy-duty ignorance to be unaware that the world of energy and transportation is in the process of phasing out fossil fuels in favor of electricity.

Two comments any my response:

Reader #1: Keystone pipeline was Canadian oil, sent through our breadbasket and getting sold to China. It was all risk and no benefit to the country. Even the jobs it would have provided were minimal. About 2500 jobs for 2-3 years and then only about 36 jobs once it’s built. The US produces plenty of oil. Our reserves were enough to flood the market, drop the price of oil and buy it back cheaper with money that was made. There are over 2000 permits to drill the oil companies have yet to use. The idea that we need more oil is just not true. We have and have been producing more oil than ever.

Me: Exactly right.
