…. i don’t like oil… i’ve seen it’s evils.. it kills everything it thouches …. as mentioned it is toxic …it kills plants, aquatic life , if leaked from a oil tanker it will cause environmental disasaters…. it’s really sad..
Your mom’s crude oil coming from her ASS impacts the environment.
Ass.
Haha!
Rock on BaphometMassacre!
Your mom touches and kills everything. It’s really sad.
It is great to see this information in a public forum in effort to educate. We made a similar video about air pollution control on a factory in downtown Chicago to gain public awareness.
Most people in the US do not want to change thier life style to lower consumption/demand of this energy that is killing the enviornment
Thank you for showing the harm of these greedy corporations with no regard to their world, except for their temporary luxury.
The environment cannot sustain this type of abuse without horrific consequences which come at a cost to the common man.These mega corporation fail to realize that eventually these images will find there way to the public eye. Greed is like terminal cancer, it keeps eating at your very existence until there is nothing left.
As a mother of three, the worst think a parent can see is a child to play with tar in
his/her back yard!!!
Lord help us…
no the worst think a child can see is there country buying oil from countrys that hate the USA if we don’t drill here in the USA we are going down does any one understand this or are we still voteing in jerks and thinking LA LA till its over
Ok! face, i understand ur point.But I’m also pretty sure that there alternative methods to
oil and fossil fuels as resourses. But big oil
companies want to profit anywhere they can find it. So far we’re eslaved to them…
no matter where they gonna drill.
e85 is the obvious answer oil companies fear it. cars that were designed to use only e85 could get over 40mpg
Some people (like face) love to say how offensive it is that other countries “hate” the USA but they fail to ‘think’ about why that is, or maybe they think their country shouldn’t be accountable for wrong doings? It’s up to us to change how the world feels about us but we keep choosing that path of their dislike so we can not complain.
The why other don’t like us is very obvious. Should they really like us for how we destroy their communities and take their chances to survive?
Yea, let’s go back to the old days of cutting wood and burning it to keep warm in those cold long winters and cooking our food. There won’t be a tree left on earth. But that wouldn’t impact the environment would it?
USA has done so much harm to the world… ther’s no way you people can be forgiven, but the rest of the world is not like you!! so we won’t start a war… please don’t you ever vote for someone who’s last name is bush… EVER AGAIN!!
Yeah, well back in the 1940’s I could say the same thing about Germany who killed millions of people and wrecked the entire world either directly or indirectly. I would say quit pointing fingers and judge yourself before you judge someone else.
in panama some guy invented a new fuel called M4 it works on gas cars with no changes need to be made to the car… it has been tested and aproved like 1000 times… but oil companies like this ones, and the us goverment (the owners of the fucking monopoly) won’t let the guy sell it cause it will “impact” some pockets… the M4 fuel it’s made of ethanol and a little oil, it would be like 80% cheaper, it won’t harm the enviroment and it’s better for the fucking car… read a bit more about it…
You know what they say!
The stone age didn’t ended bcause we all ran
out of stones.
That’s true bollo7 there some dip pockets out
there and they don’t want to change…
This is an old story, 60 Minutes or a NBC news program covered this in 2004.
No regulation means huge profits… and the hell with anyone or anything in their way.
another credit to America: Yes We CAN.
It’s very simple, we need to consume less, a lot less.
What do you mean we need to consume less?
At the present rate of energy consumption we will soon need 3 planet Earths. The status-quo is unsustainable. Either we do this volunarily, or the entire eco-system will collapse. Which would you prefer?
what we need is the classified top secret info tesla had for the world about plucking energy from the earth magnetic field to provide unlimited energy thru a wireless set up.
tesla had a tower built and had it working and when jp morgan found out there was no way to meter the power to profit from it he had the towers destroyed.
if you look into tesla u will see how he was smeared by the oil companies,bankers and our goverment.the truth is out there for those smart enough to see it.
the oil companies should be charged with treason and we can start with standard oil for selling the germans special fuel for their planes during ww2.then we should go after the rest of the oil giants for buying any fuel saving devices they can to protect their business.
if u want to die just make a fuel saving device and refuse to sell it to the oil companies.
the only war that should be fought is against the oil companies and we need to do it soon.
