That is a lie. It does reduce the “human species” carbon footprint, but that is only because of the death by disease and mass murders that take place in a socialist state.
However, the left will use that lie as an upshot for this
For the first time in its 100-year history of oil production, Venezuela is importing crude — a new embarrassment for the country with the world’s largest oil reserves.
The nation’s late president Hugo Chávez often boasted the South American country regained control of its oil industry after he seized joint ventures controlled by such companies as ExxonMobil and Conoco. But 19 months after Chávez’s death, the country can’t pump enough commercially viable oil out of the ground to meet domestic needs — a result of the former leader’s policies.
The dilemma — which comes as prices at U.S. pumps fall below $3 per gallon — is the latest facing the government, which has been forced to explain away shortages of basic goods such as toilet paper, food and medicine in the past year.
This is the death by disease part coming along. The mass murders will follow shortly.
That’s what happens when the guys that know how to make it all work leave.
