This is troubling. People are demanding that the government
FORCE corporations to no longer provide them with desperately
needed energy... "MAKE THEM STOP SELLING TO US!"

Just stop buying.

It really is that simple. If you hate oil companies and
utilities producing fuel & energy that enriches your life,
STOP enriching your life! If you have a hot water heater,
get rid of it. If you've got an apartment where hot water
is piped in, turn the valve. Shut it off.

There. ZERO energy going to heat water.

Now do the same for the furnace.

Stop using a washing machine and drier.

No more stove -- raw foods only!

No fridge.

Stay away from cars, buses, trains... ubers...

Walk.

Bikes require a lot of energy, their tires require a lot of
oil... the plastics for reflectors... no more bikes, just
walk.

Where do your non-energy dependent clothes come from?

Do you use a phone? Watch a TV? Use WiFi?

Retards like you are suing people for fulfilling your desires,
rather than just changing your habits.

"But I need an energy rich life!"

Fine. Shut the fuck up.
