You're right, Steve. And stop buying plastic, fiberglass, lifejackets, clothing, paint, deodorant, shampoo, fertilizer.........
I've worked for oil companies for most of my life throughout the world.
IMHO, the environmental impact of petroleum exploration & production is very minimal in comparison to the actual use and disposal of petroleum products.
But let's admit it. We are addicted to the stuff. I am glad it is a limited resource, and eventually we will run out. We have little appreciation for the product which has taken 100's of millions of years to produce, and is sold so cheaply while it is still relatively abundant.
