They just can't stand progress.

Especially when it threatens the oil industry.

Remember Chimpy mocking hybrid vehicles, and Gore's proposal to give tax credits to people who buy them?

Remember Joe Barton's hilarity over "squiggly pig-tailed light bulbs?"

Now it's biofuels. Algae -- hardeeharhar!!

And of course, the whole notion of climate change is just plain silly!!

(100 years ago, if they'd been peddling horseshit literally, they'd be chuckling over the crazy motorized horses with wheels instead of feet, yuck yuck...)
