Letters: Instead of Suing Big Oil, put money toward alternatives

'I would rather my money was used for research into viable alternatives. Give me a clear reasonable choice and I will choose to move away from oil products.'

Editor: 

Please don’t take $1 from me for the  Sue Big Oil cause. To sue oil companies is next to futile because I and you still need tires on cars, duroid shingles on houses and asphalt on the roads.  

Whatever the outcome, we will pay more, should this suit gather steam. Do you really think prices won’t increase to cover costs? Why attack companies while using/needing the products they provide?   

I would rather my money was used for research into viable alternatives. Give me a clear reasonable choice and I will choose to move away from oil products.  

How many of you don’t travel the roadways, have cedar shingles on your houses and electric cars with wheels of wood?
