PR campaign to shift blame from big oil

They aren't drilling for the fun of it. They do it because you pay them to do it.

    Damn, you're right, I'll just take the train to work instead to avoid having to use my car and thus pay for gas, so simple!

    What's that? Car and oil companies lobbied hard as fuck to ensure public transit in the US wouldn't be good enough, forcing people to use alternative means of transportation?

    Well, shit

    I thought the lack of transit had more to do with everyone wanting their own suburban home with a yard, two cars, boats, campers, etc.
