      Which makes it a national security risk that we let these oil companies sell it all to get burned by civilians and private industry. It makes no sense. The whole thing. But yeah, it’s why we should be saving petroleum. We need it for all kinds of shit as we transition. Flying a heart across the planet to save a life is pretty cool! Medical helicopters are neat! We kinda need the vroom vroom juice for the neat stuff. Meanwhile chuds are rolling coal. I’m just full on ranting now, I’m sorry lol
