Oil Drilling in the Artic

We have a lot of alternative energy resources today but we are still relying on oil for our main source of energy. Our fear of being without is stronger than our sense of reason.

This is what we are facing with the issue of Oil Drilling in the Artic. This is a classic battle of the Environmentalist against the Oil Industry. The Oil Industry is looking for profits at the risk of the fragile Artic Environment.

A lot of the concerns that the oil drilling supporters are voicing such as low numbers of visitors are not the critical issue. What is critical is for us to protect not only our wild lands but also our total environment.

There are a lot of alternatives to dependence on oil for our energy needs but I also caution we have to tread lightly with some of these as well. What ever we look at, we have to look at the ramifications that can affect the environment. The purpose of The Environmental Action Network is to help more people become informed and to take action. We will often reference back to the biggest problem we face right now and that is Global Warming. We can no longer tolerate our actions based on degrees of damage that is permissible by law. We have to focus on eliminating the damages that we are doing and start correcting our past mistakes. In regards to this, does it really make sense to be Drilling for Oil in the Artic?

We have to look at the possibility of damaging the environment and we also have to take into consideration the reality that we have to move away from the use of oil due to the damages the emissions cause.

Asking the Oil Industry their opinion on this matter would be similar to asking the Tobacco Industry 30 years ago about the dangers of smoking. Due to Hurricane Katrina, the Oil Industry turned record profits when gas supplies were suppose to be down. I don’t need to comment further on this matter except to reference it to the fact that an industry such as the Oil Industry will not be very willing to let go of the enormous financial strength it has. Unfortunately, they are not doing the responsible thing by taking their resources and becoming the leader in transferring our use of oil for our energy resources to the development of the alternative energy resources that we already have available.
