Sigh... WE ARE DRILLING!!!! For both oil AND natural gas. The reason refineries aren't being built is because it's too expensive to build these monstrosities when investment in green energy is becoming more popular. Of course there's always the nimby factor, too. Want one in your backyard?
I have many in my backyard. And the nimby factor is alive and well when it comes to locating "green energy."
The complete denial is very apparent. What is also apparent is the complete lack of education in how oil is used in our society, and that there is NOTHING that we currently have that will replace it and result in the same quality of life that we now appreciate. Again, reality takes a back seat.
Nobody is disputing that, either. Oil will always be a necessary commodity. We just don't NEED to depend ENTIRELY on oil for our E.N.E.R.G.Y supplies. It's not my fault that Big Oil doesn't want to spend anymore money on new refineries when the day will come in the not too distant future that OIL is NOT the main source.
