Captain Trade

 I was just thinking (well, no, I wasn't) that gas stations should become more politicalyou know, like a microcosm of the lobbying fossil fuel industry in general. This local gas station heeded my call.





Oh, man, cap and trade? What a bummer. I hate when market-based approaches try to assuage clear environmental ills. Want to save the environment? You're going to pay for it dearly. But isn't saving the world worth even highly exaggerated cost estimates? Hell no.

Websites such as the one advertised,  voicesforenergy.com, can really be for anythingthis one is for destroying the environment.

It reads: "Thanks to an overwhelming response from you and other consumers across the country, Congress has failed to enact federal climate change legislation."

Great!
