Ted Nugent: Oil spill advocate

Posted in Extremism, Rock 'n' Roll, Ted Nugent at 9:50 am by George Smith

As predicted here a couple weeks ago, crazy old coot Ted Nugent has written a WaTimes column on how all us stupid punks have the oil spill wrong.

If we didn’t have them, energy would be just too damn expensive. Plus, despising the likes of BP is bad and wrong:

With the possible exception of the tobacco industry, no industry is held in more contempt and scorn than big oil. This is strangely foolish … I’m convinced the energy business could make mining for energy virtually risk-free, thereby making the risk of an oil spill very low. Few if any coal miners would ever get hurt or killed again. However, if such a risk-free model were adopted, the cost of energy would skyrocket and kill the American economy. Seven dollars or more for a gallon of gas, anyone? BP and other energy companies are not evil enterprises that are out to rape the environment.

In conclusion:

Don’t be an American energy idiot.

Drill, baby, drill; demand state-of-the-art intelligent preparation and hold the ineffective, criminal decision-makers [of Fedzilla] accountable.
