CarnivOIL: The Greatest Addiction on Earth!

Big Oil: Keeping America dependent on oil since 1875 and celebrating victory over our clean energy future

Join Big Oil’s Celebration: America, Still in the Hands of Polluters and Petrodictators

The US Senate’s historic failure to bring a comprehensive clean energy and climate bill to the floor is reason to celebrate if you profit from America’s oil addiction. As a result of this week’s historic failure, we present “Carnivoil”: the Greatest Addiction on Earth – celebration of America’s addiction to oil with an outdoor midway-style carnival complete with games, concessions, and some Big Oil-style celebrating. Step right up! Don’t be afraid. See the world’s biggest polluters – by looking behind the curtain.

Games will include the Petroleum Wheel of Doom, Oil Executive Boxing and the Big Oil version of the famous Hammer game. The event highlights Big Oil’s success in pocketing the US Congress, while blocking progress toward a clean energy future.
