Just when you think Obama does 'the principled' thing...
Tell me, what possible justification makes endangering our environment the right course of action when the responsible way forward is bleeding obvious? We must turn away from the independence of fossil fuels as quickly as possible before it is too late. Of course I know our world runs on it. But I just have to believe we can find a suitable solution that doesn't rely on putting crucial ecosystems at risk. There has to be respect, a way to live more harmoniously with our environment and each other.
Considering the repercussions that could eventuate from a significant environmental disaster, planning to drill off the US coast is a desperate act. All the money or power in the world isn't worth jeopardising our planet for. Last time I checked there was nowhere else to migrate to. Mission to Mars is still a fantasy. There are no other options. We either ruin where we live and destroy our future or change in order to survive. To me it is that simple. Terminate the source of what gives us life and the writing is clear; it's Jonestown and kool-aid again, only on a global scale.
I just can't get why so few people understand this.
