Don't confuse his argument with sincerity. Any law that changes our
ability to burn fuel at *increasing* rates, you see, is an
"infringement" on our God(tm)-given rights. An eco-nut, you understand,
is anybody that's not trying to strip the light-fixtures off the world
in their lifetime.

In fact anytime you hear the phrase like "eco-nut movement", you can
safely assume logical argument has ended and a one-size-fits all
cliche-fest has begun.
