The more international events play out, the more I am afraid we may see a severe energy crisis even by the end of this year.
My generation seems to have this belief that energy companies should be ‘stopped’ or something.
Oil and natural gas create jobs, improve your standard of living, and don’t actually harm the environment as much as you think, even so, in my opinion the benefits of drilling far outweigh the costs of harm to nature.
Ten years ago, it was a widely held belief that we had hit peak oil and would be beginning to run out by 2012. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Ten years from now, if we don’t expand drilling to ANWR, the second largest basin in history (which could possibly solve most of our energy woes), and if we don’t open up more offshore opportunities, and if we continue to kill our private energy companies in the name of climate change, we will wish we had done differently.
