Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 17, 2018

Big Oil. Big Carbon. Big Tobacco.

Same concept, different details.

Smart people catch on early, gullible suckers take much longer, and those who only dance to corporate puppet strings never quite figure it out but wonder why they pay so much and why they die so young.

“Go for the most gullible, so yes.”

Real cars burn real amounts of gas, and thereby burn real money. Lots and lots of real money.

I can’t imagine what made JJ ask that.

Silly Mike. We all know now the real future is in coal.

This strip was written more than 20 years after Gloria Steinem became a household name.

Now we have Trump: Clean Coal for Clean Pollution

Henry Payne can’t understand why this is supposed to be funny.

Ethanol has been proven to cost more in oil to produce than it saves. Also ethanol in gas rots the seals out in small engines carburetors. Electric cars will be the future as soon as the support system for nationwide charging stations is in place. The best of all futures would be all base load power plants would be modern Nuclear with support from wind and solar. Gas plants are a little better than coal but they pump gigatons of CO2 into the atmosphere. Until that’s all in place we need oil. We definitely don’t need ethanol, just a scam by big Ag.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. He wrote this 28 years ago. Trudeau you’re a genius!

How about “Oil – It’s worth U.S. soldiers’ lives so you don’t have to make changes in your lifestyle”.

Gee where would she get that idea?
