“Fossil fuels remain plentiful, cheap, and effective. ”

That is a fact that I get get through to envorifreaks when they talk about “alternative” fuels.
Why are they trying to reinvent gasoline when we could have more than we would know what to do with if the envrionuts got out of our way !!

As an advocate of laissez-faire capitalism, and as an avid WWE fan, seeing DX used to promote capitalism is fantastic. Blows my mind.

Small disagreement on some details though, in the claim that “without [oil], and the brave and brilliant people who find and harvest it, we would have at best a 19th century existence.” It would be much farther back than that if these things didn’t exist as Rockefeller was creating wonders with oil already in the 19th century.
See Alex Epstein’s “Vindicating Capitalism: The Real History of the Standard Oil Company” for a brilliantly and deep article on this.
