Big Brother disguises filthy energy from hell in the cloak of clean energy from the heavens

Acoustic guitars, trees and sunny green logos have become a staple of dirty energy company advertising, because our brains work by association... After all, the sun's free electrons from heaven provide vital photosynthesis for life on our green planet Earth.

There can be no more fundamental a falsehood in advertising, no more of a fraud designed to betray our trust, no more devious a disguise, than when Big Brother cloaks his filthy energy companies from hell in these treasured attributes from the heavens.

The BP toxic oil contamination disaster is not just a "spill" or a "leak", but modern history's worst ecological disaster, coming amidst the carnage of the international economic war's destruction of the world economy. You know, the thing that Big Brother also euphemistically and deceptively labeled the "credit crunch" or "subprime crisis"...

While outrage would compel many to shut down oil drilling all together, it is simply not within our power, and not practicable, because it would dangerously hurt the worst world economy in modern history. There is going to be enough trouble going forward anyway.  Instead, oil drilling needs to be phased out, while alternative energies such as Cold Fusion are developed and implemented.
