OMAHA, Neb. -- Area drivers will soon be able to fill up with gasoline made from "terror-free oil."

KETV in Omaha reports that a gas station is about to open near 129th and Q streets named Terror Free Oil, and the idea is to offer consumers petroleum products from countries that do not sponsor terror.

The gas station is associated with the Terror-Free Oil Initiative. The group's objective is to encourage Americans to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism. A representative said that Omaha's will be the first of several terror-free oil gas stations to open across the country.

"The terror-free oil initiative is dedicated to encouraging Americans to buy gasoline that originated from countries that do not export or finance terrorism," according to the group's Web site.

1. wow... Hess doesn't use any Persian Gulf oil at all

and they contribute mightily to Dems as well.

[leesa]

6. Wow. You mean only Persian countries support terrorism?

I hope he doesn't buy any American gas or oil because we invest in a lot of terrorism.

7. Converting to Earth Bio Fuels..

Willie Nelson's company. Along with Morgan Freeman and Julia Roberts their spokesperson.

using their ethanol additive, corn and soy oil fuel substitutes.
completely eco friendly and their stock pricing is hot!

Terror-Free fuel.. quite a gimmick..:)

3. Good for them

Let's see how that plays out.

Might just be to liberal of an idea to go very far. It's not like this isn't something we have been working toward for years. Glad to see that someone is taking the initiative to try it.

4. Terror-Free Oil?

I've run across these guys on youtube.

Right-wad whackjobs.

5. Good idea, but pretty much impossible

With the way the world market works there's really no way to exclusively buy oil from one country or completely exclude another country. Though trying to cut the Saudis out as much as possible is a good move.

8. That's like terror-free air.

Sounds pretty much like an I-hate-Muslims campaign to me.

9. "There is no Iran in our can"

I remember my father having a bumper sticker from a gas station that said that,

10. I thought Citgo was primarily Venzuelian, but I will start using Hess

Hess is all over the place in Delaware and I'll make it a point to use their gas more often

[ET Awful]

14. Well, if you look at the info they link to, Citgo does NOT buy any ME oil

Odds are they list it because of typical right-wing hatred of Chavez.

edit (sorry, I don't consider 1% to be significant), I originally looked at the two other listings for Citgo, not the very first one.

Also, before doing business with hess, do some research on their activities in Burma with Premiere Oil.

11. Not a horrible idea

These guys are obviously wingnuts (I mean, Jesus, look at their gas station logo!) but I'd love to be able to support a company which doesn't buy from Saudi Arabia or other fundy countries.

[The Stranger]

13. If there is Jesus in their station logo, it might be a hint that they are fundy themselves.

Just a thought.

[KansDem]

17. Brings up an intriguing question...

So we are to buy gasoline, which is made from the compression and heating of ancient organic materials over millions of years ago, from a business that uses Jesus, a symbol of a world only 6,000 years old, in its logo?

I wonder if this causes the Fundies to think? :shrug:

[The Stranger]

19. Fundies cannot think -- it threatens their very existence. But the real question is why someone

would support one version of Fundamentalism over another, when they both appear to be both sides of the same coin, at war with thinking "non-believers," war-mongering, sexually repressed, hateful of minorities and women.

[The Stranger]

12. Considering that U.S. foreign policy supports regimes it later calls "terrorist," buying from

stations in Omaha supports terrorism with the best of them.

[depakid]

15. None from Nigeria either.

I wonder how they're going to track their supplies?

[ps1074]

16. so, they will offer Norwegian oil only?

eom

18. A gallon of Terror-free oil and some freedom fries

and a Bushburger.
