Don't break up with fossil fuels

The fossil industry has released this video.

Words cannot express how unbelievably stupid this is.

They forgot to mention that your girlfriend, fossil fuels, is putting anti freeze in your coffee every morning and slowly killing you....but stick with that bitch, yeah, good idea.

Can a newt get a *WTF

And she's turning up the thermostat in your house to the point where your carbon monoxide detectors are singing.

Eh...just take the batteries out of that thing. Just ignore it. You'll be fine, I'm sure.

Is this seriously not a parody? Holy shit. @:48 "A group of anti-energy activists..." - really? Anti-energy? "I hate energy!" "Yeah, me too! "Fuck energy!"

Edit: Apparently the group that made this is run by / connected to one Rick Berman, who I'd not really known anything about previously. Found a post with some info on the guy, sounds like a winner: "a Washington lobbyist and arch-enemy of other lobbyists and do-gooders who would have government control—and even ban-a myriad of products they claim are killing us, products like caffeine, salt, fast food and the oil they fry it in. He's against Mothers Against Drunk Driving, animal rights activists, food watchdog groups and unions of every kind..."

Fucking ridiculous video hiding a somewhat significant point.

The human race can't break up with fossil fuels...

All the wonderful renewable tech we're banking on just isn't capable of supplying enough energy to support our modern post developmental lifestyle. Sure, solar thermal, PV etc are interesting, but unless you have some developing country (aka China atm, but might be India in the future) absorbing the carbon cost of building the panels and tech, the sums don't work out for people personally, and the return on energy invested doesn't work out for the planet.

If you've seen the current state of the Chinese air quality or general environment, you'll understand that for every clean tech device we set up in the west, there is a terrible hidden cost being dumped somewhere else in the world. Except "global warming" is global, so sweeping this shit under a foreign rug isn't going to save us..

With 1.8bn ppl with zero power and another 700+m with intermittent, unreliable power, and a bunch of countries switching off their nukes (and replacing the load mostly with gas/coal), no matter how much we want to break up with the lousy bitch, we can't and won't...
