Most inhabitants plan to live on this planet for the foreseeable future. Any employee, owner/operator, supporter and/or any others who still think the petrochemical industry is/was a good idea can just go fuck themselves. Maybe do a little cleanup work out on the Pacific Plastic Patch. Nice work Oil ‘n Gas – the transition is in progress. Get your ducks in a row and move on.

Never thought I’d say that.
