Renewable fuels has become one of those motherhood-and-apple-pie catchphrases, as unobjectionable as the troops or the middle class...
Still, high-profile departures like theirs could lead fresh talent to think twice about signing to one of the majors.

These include “Can I have some of your cookies / Can I have some of your pie / May I cut the first slice / So won’t you scream?” This argument, however, doesn’t embrace the wondrous stupidity of this video. Let us not damn director Justin Francis for being wholly uncreative, or for managing to fetishize perhaps the only thing...
