Big Oil’s Plan To Criminalize Pipeline Protests

I’m not sure what the individual action is here. But I also struggle with why any action makes sense. When there is no pipeline, the fuel is still transported. It goes via 16 wheelers instead of by pipes, and those 16 wheelers have substantial emissions on their own. On the upside, it drives up their cost of transport to not have a pipeline. But OTOH consumers are addicts. They will just buy their fuel at any price. It doesn’t quite work like typical markets. Car drivers will pay for the nose for fuel. They get more angry as price goes up but they cannot be broken. Even a 10-fold fuel increase wouldn’t get those stubborn motherfuckers onto bicycles. So it seems like fighting pipelines is not the best use of human energy.
