You know, I'm actually starting to get annoyed at all these energy commercials on television. What? They think we're stupid?!
There's no point to this onslaught except, possibly, to gen up sympathy for the energy industry. Looks to me like they're spending their $4 Billion subsidy on TV commercials!
It's got so bad, everytime I hear the cello in the background audio track, all I can mouth are the words "We want your fuc^in money!"
Actually, it's the other way around. The Mother of the Universe first called Spirit into existence with the power of her desire, but the infant God was a shit-head, and immediately attacked her, giving us all of the pain and suffering we're seeing today. All the turmoil and upset we're seeing are happening because she's coming out of the coma that the original assault put her into (see Big Bang), and she is ***PISSED!!!!***
They're buying influence at the network's/station's sales departments.
How many exposes on gas prices, pipeline leaks, or contaminated wells will their news departments do when the sales guys say "don't bite the hand that feeds us"? (And self censorship will probably make that unnessary). At a minimum, they'll get "balanced reporting".
How many times will drama shows use the energy industry as villains (like CSI did a month or two ago) if the producers hear at an affiliates convention that "some of our big advertisers are really unhappy about that story line."?

Nutrition, too. Good, vitamin and protein-filled food helps fight disease. A lot of oil and energy is used to make fertilizers and insecticides, plow fields, harvest and refrigerate and transport stuff, things like that. Grapes and pineapples in February.
They are softening you up to believe that fracking the oil shales to get to natural gas will not fruck the ground drinking water supply. I don't know the answer to this one - I don't think anyone does for sure.
But there do seem to be plenty of examples of methane coming out of domestic taps in areas that have recently been fracked.... It could just be a coincidence I suppose.
They are about to try doing it in Morecombe Bay in the UK.
No doubt you believe Enron's mega scam never happened and that they didn't deliberately keep Californian power stations offline in summer to game the spot electricity market (to an extent that Alcan shutdown its aluminium plant to take advantage of not using their allocation of hydro electricity and flogging it on to Enron).
Alcan later became liable for EMPI debts to their supplier when Enron failed as described in their from 10-K

All the semicon plants and the rich their now have their own generating capacity for full load as a result of the rolling blackouts in 2000.

Hard to think of a more predatory market practitioner. Ironically some of what Enron was doing was actually good and innovative.
And what brought the necessary wealth to pay for those things? Manna from heaven or increased productivity via the use of "machines" (capital development/investment) that all use or consumed energy?
They don't want *you* to use energy. There seems to be a strong strain of misanthropy in the so-called "eco-liberal/progressive" movement. Occasionally they'll slip and reveal what they actually want to do is decimate the population. Occasionally they'll slip and call humans something like a "cancer on the planet." But in the political realm they have oddly managed to call their opponents the haters. It is really upside-down.
