I think everyone understands that fossil fuels drive pretty much everything, its built into every facet of our infrastructure as a society. I would argue almost everyone on earth relies on it.
That doesn't mean you are a "hypocrite" if you voice any concerns about it, just because you happen to have driven a car, taken a plane, or used a tour bus.
I've seen this argument thrown back into the face of anyone who has any opposition or negative slant towards the oilsands, whether its a celebrity or a scientist. Its completely irrelevent to the debate.
