        I guess we’re talking local gas, and the argument is something like “support your local oil co.”?

        Not that it makes it any better but that’s the reasoning that eluded me. It’s fucked up though, because this is what countries/regions/politicians do all over the world: save the planet, sure, but local jobs come first.
