Ok, if you take the emotion out of the equation (based on strict environmentalism), the web sites you produced are solely based on
environmentalism, which is emotionally based. To me, and my opinion only, they are not credible sources. I rely on the statistics and
research of oil exploration companies within the US...which are many. I'm not here to disrespect your opinion based on what you believe. I
don't agree with the degree of impact we are having on the environment within the US due to oil production, as we don't produce a great
deal of oil to begin with. The technological advances in oil extraction has gained by leaps and bounds in order to reduce significantly the
impact of envrionmental damage. Yet, oil to some, is a "dirty word" and should be banished from the earth. We were given these natural
resources to use them and now it seems taboo to do just that....according to some. The fact that animals go exctinct is as old as the
existence of the earth...with or without our help to speed it along. I'm not saying we shouldn't be good stewards of the ground we live on,
but to stifle growth in every way, for the sake of a snail dart for example, is not good economic sense. But, I digress. I'm sure people here
won't appreciate our bantering back and forth on this type of issue. We can agree to disagree, so I think we should take this to a different
venue if you choose to do so, agree?
