Still I stand in awe of the intellectual rigor of your polemic.

Seriously? Says the one who has stooped to the lowest form of parody by embracing the moronic false equivalency that the author was ridiculing in the first place?

I’ve noticed that too!

Of course my experience is limited to the west coast refineries but BP is one of those where I’ve declined contracts. This was a result of poor safety practices. Colleagues have informed me of lax oversight and corner cutting which likely extends to less crucial rhelms like QC. In my experience Shell has a good safety…

Butt-Hurt?

This is the answer. YOu’d never guess it from all the Tesla Hype, but hybrids are the right answer for 1999.

I think it's more of a professional obligation for Curt.

The world did end this past fall for an entire city, Paradise California, perhaps when your burning to death while trying to shield your children it’s a bit too late to get hysterical about the effects of climate change. Before that large swaths of Redding burned killing dozens as well. The summer before It was a…

My impression of operations at Shell are not entirely unfavorable. There are refineries here on the west coast were I will not set foot for any price. It seems to me at times that ethenol formulations are intentionally unstable. The prospect of a company intentionally damaging their customer's equipment seems so…

It’s fun to cut and paste his arguments, (I just did). It makes it appear that he’s having a screaming match with himself. I think he's on the verge of taking it outside and whipping his own ass!

“If you always see the other side as the enemy, insult them, and refuse to listen to them, you’ve already lost.”

“ If neither side is willing to have an open conversation, then you will be stuck in your box. “

If your home town has burned to the ground you no longer have a box to be stuck in.

What’s even funnier is someone who makes their argument by gainsaying without presenting any facts or logic.

The solutions to CO2 levels need to be addressed now though, not fifty years in the future. The production matrix on the grid is shifting much more rapidly than most “experts” predicted. In the past 20 years I’ve personally participated in projects that currently produce over a half billion watts of non fossil fuel…

I don’t consider people who use such rationalizations as an excuse to resist making even a marginal effort to confront the primary threat to human civilization free thinkers. Rather they are troglodytes who employ a veneer of phony intellectualism to cover their vast willful ignorance.

Having done construction engineering for various major refineries I can assure you that your ethanol problems have more to do with slovenly chemical engineering than with the inherent properties of ethanol blends.

Sure Mr. Rodman we can sell you another armored limo. We understand your concern for personal security.

Yeah, a pretty shitty piece of " journalism" but as always the Jalopnik comentariate comes through. Informative through and witty. It's an interesting business where the product is consistently substandard but the consumers create the real value.

One sided?
