I am writing on behalf of the the green, renewable, local
alternative energy industry and as an unemployed person who can't
find work, I strongly encourage this growing field and strongly
oppose the greedy oil companies who have done the damage they have
throughout the world. I'm in pursuit of getting a job and the only
industry I am finding that I want to work in and that is ready to
train and hire me is the solar and wind industry. Thank goodness
fro renewables. The oil and coal companies are selfish corporate
conglomerates that don't care about anyone except for themselves.
They want to get rich off of us and will go to great lengths to lie
through their teeth about how we need to keep being reliant on oil.
The climate denialists are not scientists and even the one or two
scientists that the oil lobbyists find to tell lies are crooked and
are getting paid heavily to lie about climate change. I have asthma
and so does my 6 year old brother. We live close to the richmond
and martinez, CA refineries and the air here stinks. I don't drive
a car and I don't like cars being the bicyclist that I am. The
future is clear; not dirty like the oil companies want. Oil
companies deserve to pay and I hope they will lose all their
battles in court because they deserve death penalties for pillaging
mother earth and the peoples ways of lives all over the world,
whether it's mountain top mining, shale  drilling, or open pit
mining in Alberta, or whether it's what happened with Shell and the
execution of a nonviolent activist Ken Saro Wiwa in Nigeria Africa,
or to ECUADOR and Texaco's DISASTER or excuse me, CHEVRON'S MESS
using outdated equipment and practices just to pinch pennies to be
more lucrative. It is catastrophic to what the oil companies have
done to the people and the environment. We are at peak oil and we
it doesn't make sense to drill off the coast of Alaska either. The
amount of money, energy, water, and degradation to the air and
environment is something that needs to be put at an end coming mid
21st century or sooner. The fate of human civilization depends on
it! The oil companies are fighting an uphill battle. We the people
of the world who have not been brainwashed and have some sort of
education and know what peer reviewed scientific literature is and
what is says, well all of us know the obvious. The oil companies
are not wanted. Stop the destruction of earth and lets fight
climate change because our lives and the lives of future
generations depend on it. Economics of today make no sense and
discount rate is bullshit. Its all about Rio's classic definition
of what sustainability is. We really need to start factoring in
externalities in economice because if we keep rapin our earth for
her precious resources, there won't be any left and there will be a
tipping point and when that tipping point hits, it will be too
little too late. Please put caps on greenhouse gas emissions.
That's the least we can do to make these dirty, greedy, heartless,
oil companies pay. The oil companies should be investing in
renewables. The percent they invest currently in renewables,
comparing to what they are investing in general and especially in
deep horizon off shore drilling is a joke! I'm pissed and I want
the equality and liberty we the people of california and the world
deserve. OIL COMPANIES WILL BE THE DEATH OF THE WORLD! THEY HAVE TO
BE STOPPED! Now lets not forget to what happened off the coast of
the gulf of Mexico. OIl spills happen all the time and we don't
need oil or coal, especially in CA. CA is the largest state holding
20% of the people in the Nation. What standards we set will be
followed by other states. My have too many investors invested in
clean, green technology to move away from it now. Since the feds
and the government are moving too slow, we the people of CA need to
show America what real leaders are made up of. Just say NO TO OIL!
