All they do is increase our long term dependence on natural gas.

Natural gas is the most dangerous energy source there is because most people falsely believe it's "clean."

After all, it's "natural." And Brawndo has electrolytes!

Shell knows that. So does Texas.

Natural gas will destroy what's left of the natural environment as we know it, and quite probably our civilization as well.

Bob on the other hand, probably works harder than anyone at Shell who has made millions off this scam. And his job, subsidized by food stamps, actually makes the world a better place.
