BS. Paraphrasing my friend KC Golden, yes, we are all responsible for doing what we can to cut climate pollution - we all participate in the energy economy that creates it. But we are not all perpetrating it.  Most of us would choose clean affordable alternatives to fossil fuels for energy and transportation, but many of us can’t because the fossil fuel industry systematically thwarts those alternatives. OSU professor Kathleen Dean Moore puts it well: "I didn’t cut corners and cause an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. I didn’t do my best to undermine the Environmental Protection Agency and every other agency that might have limited fracking. I’m not lobbying Congress to open oil drilling in the Arctic Ocean. I didn’t cut funding for alternative energy sources. Big Oil is pouring billions of dollars into shaping government policies and consumer preferences.  And what do we say? ‘Oh, I should be a more mindful consumer."
