Sabotage always causes a surge of adrenaline in angry young people, but in this case, it’s futile, and will only result in Republicans (the loyal servants of Big Oil) conspiring to pass legislation that brands ALL environmental activists as “ecoterrorists” and declares open season on them. This will make everything even worse; after all, fascists always look for enemies they can demonize, infiltrate, round up, detain, or murder.
Much better, I think, to keep a low profile, practice Satyagraha (including relocalization and self-reliance), and speak truth to power when necessary—mindfully, strategically, relentlessly.
