I have never met an environmentalist who does not use some product produced from oil.

They are either extremely ignorant or hypocrites.

This doesn’t make them ignorant or hypocritical. There are plenty of environmentalists who have nuanced views of oil and gas. The ones who rigidly want to ban it probably fit your description, but what you are doing is typical of radical partisans. You are assigning the most outlandish viewpoints on the other side to anyone who disagrees with you.

They do a similar thing. They say that everyone who does not want to radically minimize oil and gas production is intent on destroying the world to make a transitory profit. Pretty stupid, huh?
