    Let’s just buy less oil altogether so the lesbians will still have a liveable planet in a couple or decades.

    You don’t choose from where you get your oil. There’s one oil market. You can choose to ban imports of oil from certain countries (like Russia).

    The better move is just to migrate further away from oil usage altogether.

      The oil market actually has sub markets that break down by region and the type of crude that is being traded. Not all crude is created equal and there are different types of refineries that are designed to refine the different types of crude.

      For example, a refinery that refines light / sweet crude won’t take the heavy stuff. Which is why places like North America export a lot of their domestic stuff. North America has a lot refineries looking for light crude, but pulls a lot of heavy stuff out of the ground.

      It doesn’t have to be an outright ban. You could have tariffs on imported oil, subsidies for domestic oil production, or loosened regulations that make domestic production less expensive. Reducing oil use is important, but so is reducing reliance on foreign oil. While the former also helps accomplish the latter, increased domestic oil production could still be beneficial.

      (I generally think that international trade is a net benefit, but there’s a lot to be said for avoiding dependence on not-so-friendly foreign governments for the supply of economic essentials.)

    I always thought Canadian Lesbians were pretty cold given the average Canadian temperature.

    Because Canada has the trashied oil production of the world. It’s all oil sands.
    It’s better for the environment to import petrol from the US rather than produce it “locally”.

    Between the possibilities that people extracting the dirtiest most ecologically-damaging to extract oil there is from Alberta’s Tar Sands are doing it for:

    • The Lesbians
    • Their own pockets (and screw everybody else)

    There is one infinitely more likely to be the actual reason than the other and it ain’t the first one.

    Kind reminds me of an equally facile argument that was making the rounds excusing the Israeli Genocide because of “how Palestinians treated Homosexuals”, as if Israel was murdering tens of thousands of little children (more broadly, an estimated almost 200k people, quite independently of their sexual orientation) because of how much they cared about Palestinian Homosexuals.

    This shit is to Equality what Greenwashing is to Environmentalism.
