Sanders: 'To hell with the fossil fuel industry’
Source: The Hill
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Saturday called for Republicans to abandon the corrupting influence of the Koch brothers and other wealthy energy magnates. “This is a party that rejects science and refuses to understand that climate change is real,” he said of GOP during the annual Blue Jamboree in North Charleston, S.C. “I understand if you stand up to the Koch brothers and the fossil fuel industry, that you’ll lose your campaign contributions,” the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate added. “{Climate change} is already causing devastating problems all over this world. To hell with the fossil fuel industry. Worry more about your children and your grandchildren than your campaign contributions.” Read more: http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/261019-sanders-to-hell-with-the-fossil-fuel-industry I love this man

Bernie Sanders--once again--said what needed to be said! Without apologies, without equivocation, without any doubt about what he means.
This man! I love this man!! I never thought that a REAL presidential candidate would be saying the things that all of us have been saying for so long. Except it's not a poster on Reddit, or a columnist from Huffington Post or a liberal guest on Bill Mahr. It's a Democratic presidential candidate! Mr Sanders, you are a very tall, cold glass of ice water in a parched, weary nation that is thirsting for courage, TRUTH, wisdom and an end to the damage that most of our current leaders have inflicted on this country. Thank you!!! Thank you Senator Sanders for being the voice of "We The People"--and saying the things that need to be said and the things that must be said if to save our democracy!!!!  d   |

.... we won't be as dependent on fossil fuels and we will have green house gasses under control . And, of course , over the next four to eight years we are going to be basically as dependent on fossil fuel energy sources as we are now. So the next president, whoever she might be
 is not going to be telling the fossil fuel industries to "go to hell".
IMHO, it is irresponsible demagoguery to suggest otherwise. |
