    Unfortunately, an appeal to the environment will never work with Smith’s voter base. It needs to be framed by their concerns: business, economy, and costs.

    Oil is becoming less profitable, and the longer they stay focused on it, they fall further behind the rest of the energy industry. They were poised to be leaders, but they’re selling the future of their economy for a quick buck now.
