Wingnut of the Day: Charlie Van Zant

I just confirmed Florida House Rep. Charlie Van Zant made these comments in favor of HB 1219.


"God created the oil and will create more once we pump what is there."

"If we don't drill, the China, Argentina, and Cuba will so they can fund terrorists."

"Drilling will provide more money to Florida than tourism."

Oil is a finite organic sources. Oil comes from dead dinosaurs, the fat of remains and plankton. Living entities have to die to create more oil. We can't just magically make it.
