| For the eternal loss of habitate, and natural splendor we get 8 to 30 years at most (depending on who you listen to) of some addition to our fossil fuels which will not remove our dependance on OPEC. Seems a poor bargin to me. It may at some point come to be needed out of desperation until enough alternative methods are in place. I don't think we're anywhere near that yet and I think with a concerted effort we could easily have the alternative methods in place long before we come to that point. We could start with driving fuel efficient vehicles that exist now. That doesn't mean giving up SUVs. It means driving ones that make sense.
