Puerto Rico suing oil companies for damages. Until this lawsuit settles, no oil products should be delivered to the island, and all non oil products shall be delivered by wooden sailing ships.
Oil products include: medicine, plastic, gasoline, diesel, natural gas, solar panels, batteries, steel, cement, fertilizer, etc etc etc
The data shows that areas with no access to energy have lower standards of living and significantly shorter expected lifespans.
Why to people enjoying full access to energy, highest standard of living, and long expected lifespans file lawsuits against the energy companies?
Let then get supplies and travel by wooden sailing ships and farm with mules and cook with wood fires and no electricity for lights or AC.
In just a few days they would have a better appreciation for the benefits made possible by oil and gas.
Seems as logical as a city buying buses then suing because buses pollute.
If not for oil products, Puerto Rico would be nearly deserted.
Remove oil products and oil based transportation methods and life would not be sustainable on that island for anyone without a large garden.
You must be the same marketing genius that suggested no petroleum products to Vermont.
Stock prices will really surge then. 🙄
