I agree. Outlaw petroleum extraction and then just nuke the areas that have the petroleum workers. Blame the nukes on Russia or China. No more industry, no jobs to worry about. [brushed dust off hands] Done and done.
Louisiana doesn’t benefit from the fucking oil industry bribing politicians, raising sea levels, industrializing coastal areas, and giving people cancer. The companies aren’t even based here. We’re just cursed to be next to Texas.
And Texans also don’t benefit from being a corrupt petrostate. The natural resource curse is real.
This is a bit like giving serial rapists jobs watching after victims of sexual assault.
The shit states shouldn’t profit from the mess they made.
Tax the states/corporations responsible, maybe give some back to workers.
Kids who died of asthma aren’t getting anything out of this deal, why should oil states?

If you nuked half of Texas, how could you tell which half is which?
I guess one side would have somewhat fewer epic assholes.

The rest of the US doesn’t benefit from being next to Texas, but we have to draw a line somewhere.
I see this more as an attempt to sway voters who are motivated by their jobs to vote for oil friendly politicians.
