   Petroleum is finite. And cradle to grave use of it does pollute.   
   Yet Lithium is also finite. And cradle to grave, it pollutes also.   
      
   Your belief system is religious; not scientific.   
   Your rather strongly-held beliefs don't take into account any science.   
      
   I'm not chastising you as it's common for people to have strongly held   
   belief systems which are purely religious and not based on any realities.   
      
   While I share your sensible abhorrence of OPEC manipulations, my belief   
   systems are based on science. As is my dislike of liberals also based.   
      
   I dislike that the liberals lie when they claim lithium doesn't pollute.   
   Worse, I dislike that the liberals are always taking away my rights.   
   But worse than that, the liberals mandate, under force of law, that I   
   pollute twice as much when mowing my lawn - under the guise of the   
   environment.   
      
   My dislike of liberals is not based on religion, but upon science.   
   They're deniers. Who take away my rights. Forcing me to pollute more.   
   So these California liberals are liars in the end analysis.   
      
   Bear in mind I say nothing about the conservatives, as this scientific   
   argument is based only on the liberals mandating that I pollute more.
