A middle-aged white man in a suit sits in a big chair behind a big desk, with a name placard reading "Big Oil" on the desk in front of him. Smiling, he says, "You want coal? We own the mines. You want oil and gas? We own the wells. You want nuclear energy? We own the uranium. You want solar power?" His smile goes away and he looks troubled as he says, "We own the... er... ah..." Then he says, "Solar power isn't functional." There's a signature in the bottom left reading "Mike Peters", along with "Dayton Daily News 1978 ©"
