In this video, Lisa Margonelli described oil, its physical components, and how it relates to different fields of life. she went through citing the emotional side that concerns consumers, and how they feel about oil. moreover, i think she had a point in that the industry manipulates our perception of oil, when she said that fuel pumps at gas stations look like ATMs, and the green color that one of the gas stations used to make their consumers feel as if they were doing something beneficial for the environment. she also mentioned taxes, and her proposal, in my opinion, of raising taxes with a warning on the receipt would make a difference in the long run on oil consumers. however, she focuses on numbers that are not always a good reliable justification for a fact and do not always reflect the reality.
