I disagree with you on some of your points. Nothing wrong with that...lively discussions are great.
Sure, there is oil here to be drilled, but not the 100 year supply you mentioned earlier. And, for now, it's largely cheaper to buy it from someone else than do drill for it here. As the price goes up, more of it will be economically viable. I would still encourage you to research fracking, as that is what is included when oilmen talk about our 'recoverable' supply.
I'm not against offshore drilling, but rigs do more than spoil our view. I live in the area that was affected by the BP disaster. It did much more than spoil our view.
I understand about nuclear worries, but your statement is exaggerated. One bomb will not do all you say. We already have exploded 2 on cities in WW2 and have had many, many above ground nuclear test explosions. I certainly don't want to see a bomb get into the wrong hands, but there are other things that have caused more damage, both ecological and human. I remember the floods in Bangladesh that killed hundreds of thousands, famines in Ethiopia that killed untold numbers and the modern day genocides that have killed millions. And, to get back to the BP spill, we are still calculating the damage, but it's far greater than the
PR being put out. That one spill has ruined much of the world's largest estuary (the breeding ground for much of the seafood we eat) for years to come.
I won't get into the other points as it might get more political than YT allows. I do feel, however, that it's not an either/or situation. We can provide for ourselves without raping the planet. I think that's where the focus should be. The ones that find good solutions will not only be preserving the planet, but will also reap huge economic rewards. That should be enough incentive to look beyond drilling our way out of the energy problems we now have.
The oil supply is but one of the issues we now face. We're running out of other things, as the OP mentioned. Managing our land and water resources are just as big, if not bigger, issues than filling up our gas tanks. The price at the pump is just the one we notice the most.
