Repent!

Okay, so whats being done to find a viable alternative to it and whos putting the infrastructure on place to support it? Just stoping would kill 10s of millions in less than a year. So... whats the plan?

Are fracking supporters part of the problem?

It’s keeping billions alive, and when Europe doesn’t have it this winter millions will die

Ain’t no high like fossil fuel high
