""Through the enormous explanatory power of ‘petroturfing,’ Jordan B. Kinder names and theorizes the hybrid engines of Canadian petroculture—resource extraction, settler colonialism, environmental racism, and social media—and their ill effects at planetary scale. Brilliantly revealing pro-oil’s concerted hypocrisies and social media strategies to misinform the public and grease the elbows of ‘fossil fascist creep,’ this is a profound and necessary book.""—Janet Walker, coeditor of Sustainable Media: Critical Approaches to Media and Environment and coeditor-in-chief of Media+Environment   ""Jordan B. Kinder’s Petroturfing​ offers great insight into an underdeveloped aspect of the cultural study of energy, the ‘oil culture wars’ sponsored in social media by Canada’s (and the United States’) alt-right that undermine just transitions to renewable energy and economic dignity.""—Stephanie LeMenager, author of Living Oil: Petroleum Culture in the American Century
