Santa Barbara, CA, where we needed to keep a bottle of baby oil at the door to wipe the tar off our feet after going to the beach (offshore rigs). And Madeira Beach, FL, where a tanker spill created an environmental disaster and made the beaches unusable for months. Bring on the EVs!
So how going build EV with crud oil? How going to build. Solar with crud oil? How you going to build wind turbines without crud oil? Everything industrial produced by crud oil.
