Oil Industry to Far Lefties: Thank You

Bottled water is a dangerous substance. The one and only time I was kicked out of a bar, bottled water was involved.

And now this!
America’s dirty little oil secret: Plastic Bottles and Bags:

Bottom line, the production of 31.2 billion liters of water for the U.S. bottled water market took roughly 17.6 million barrels of oil. The calculation is explained in more detail at the Pacific Institute’s information page under the energy requirements for plastic bottles. The simple break down is 3.4 megajoules of energy to produce a water bottle, cap and packaging with a barrel of oil producing about 6 thousand megajoules. Taking those numbers into account you arrive at 17.6 million barrels of oil, enough oil to run 1.5 million cars on U.S. roadways for an entire year.
All that pollution and deepening dependence on foreign oil because you can't be bothered to drink from a toilet like your dog does! Or, for the real risk takers, drinking from a public water fountain. It's because they are no longer labeled separately (but equally) for whites and negroes, isn't it? You're all a bunch of fascist pigs! Step up and slurp from the trough and put an end to the TexaSaudi cartel.

I NEVER drink bottled water, I use my tap water, city water! The funny part is, is that most bottled water is only filtered city water anyways. Great point, turn on your tap and cut oil dependence.
