Terror-free Oil

Sorry it's been a little while since my last post. It's been a little hectic with family visiting and travel for work. Here's an article about a gas station in Omaha, NE, that is claiming to sell terror-free oil.

A southwest Omaha gas station now named Terror-Free Oil is intended to send a message that consumers who buy gasoline refined from crude oil from countries associated with terrorism "are purchasing our own demise," said the spokesman of a group that will own and run the former Sinclair station.

"The easiest thing for people to do is to not purchase their gasoline from companies that purchase oil from the Middle East," said Joe Kaufman, spokesman of the Florida-based group, also called Terror-Free Oil, founded about six months ago.


While it's doubtful that one gas station will make a dent in the country's use of crude oil from the Middle East, I like that they've got the guts to take a stand. Wish more companies did.
