#1 It would poetic justice to not sell the people bringing these suits ANY form of fossil fuel or fossil fuel generated energy this winter. Let the pompous f**kers freeze.

#2 On March 24, 1989 an ocean going tanker hit a reef off the coast of Alaska. What exactly an ocean going vessel had to do with land drilling rigs, thousands of miles away, and hundreds of miles from the nearest large body of water, I could never quite understand. But the economic impact of the drilling moratorium, that drove most of the major oil company's out of Alaska and other oil producing states, has been hurting every single U.S. citizen for more than twenty years.
It is not just the loss of jobs and the higher prices that everyone pays for thousands of products. But the negative impact that trillions of dollars flowing out of our economy has had on the standard of living of each and every U.S. citizen.
We have been taught since we were children to hate "big oil". But by forcing the oil companies to drill in foreign countries, we will only hurt ourselves.
