C'est la dernière ânerie dite par Rick Perry, le chef du département américain de l'énergie.

 

“I just got back from Africa, I’m going to finish up with this, because I think I heard a lady say there are people dying. Let me tell you where people are dying, is in Africa, because of the lack of energy they have there. And it’s going to take fossil fuels to push power out into those villages in Africa, where a young girl told me to my face, ‘one of the reasons that electricity is so important to me is not only because I’m not going to have to try to read by the light of a fire and have those fumes literally killing people.’ But also from the standpoint of sexual assault. When the lights are on, when you have light that shines, the righteousness, if you will, on those types of acts. So from the standpoint of how you really affect people’s lives, fossil fuels is going to play a role in that. I happen to think it’s going to play a positive role.”

 

En passant, il te ignorer qu'on peut produire de l'électricité avec autre chose que des énergies fossiles.

 

Il faut dire qu'il a touché plus de 11 millions de dollars de l'industrie pétrolière pendant sa carrière.

ça me donne envie de pleurer…

Le pétrole évite le harcèlement sexuel, c'est un très mauvais aphrodisiaque... (bof !).

 

Pendant ce temps, l'administration Trump poursuit les nominations dans le même état d'esprit : le futur patron de la NASA est un climatosceptique sans aucune formation scientifique :
