    nobody said oil executives are somehow blameless or ok, it’s just funny to shift literally all blame away from you

      They literally conspired to make the entire country not only dependent on their products, but did so knowing the harm those products caused to both the people and environment. The majority of the blame rests there and pretending that any amount of “personal responsibility” needs to be addressed is just so fucking stupid and self-defeating that it practically borders on sabotage. Let’s get mired in blaming each other for our own minuscule, largely involuntary contribution while they keep filling their pockets with our blood.

        Our own minuscule largely involuntary contributions sum up to 20 million barrels of oil per day (in the US) 10 million per day (in the EU) and 17 million (in China).

        I don’t think Musk alone is consuming that…
