Until such breakthrough it made, we have to make due with what we've got. And that means doing a little drilling of our own. |
I think we have more options than you may believe, it's a matter of convenience. We could choose to buy more fuel-efficient autos, or hybrids, or even just take public transportations more frequently. It doesn't take much. Over here my team members and I have a public transportation day every month -- where everyone takes public transportation to work. Maybe we could up it to once a week. Yeah sure it'll be a pain in the butt and it'll take longer, but we're happy about it. 10 people saving on 20 miles of gas consumption may not be significant, but imagine it's brought to a national level -- that'll save the US lots of gasoline every year -- just might be enough to make the drilling seem less necessary?
Most people just decide to sacrifice the environment for convenience, it's really that simple.
