ACTUALLY, PLEASE DON’T DIVEST FROM FOSSIL FUELS:

As you read this on your iPhone, eat an organic avocado grown in California and buy a plane ticket home for winter break, I urge you to think about what a world without fossil fuel use would mean. Energy is embedded in virtually everything we do and consume, from life-saving drugs to our clothing. Because the divestment movement is not just about how colleges spend their money, it is about taking down the enormous carbon fuel industry. This would be a different story if a viable option to fossil fuels existed that could handle all the world’s needs. But sadly we are not there yet.

And this isn’t just about getting to keep your iPhone. Lower-income households spend almost a quarter of their income on energy. Cutting out fossil fuels would cause energy prices to soar, punishing the poor the most.

It’s all about SJW-types feeling good about themselves, and having an issue — any issue — to keep student cadre-building going for The Party.
