That would be funny if so many didn’t really think that way
I’m not sure they even think of it. They must think if they don’t drill here - they have “saved the planet”. Idiots.
I worked at a mine in Indonesia for awhile. A worker dies? No big deal - pay the family $10,000 and call it good. Contamination? Who cares - no one around to see it anyway, except for a few natives.
I’m all for developing our natural resources. But I believe we need to be good stewards of it all as well. The U.S. is far and above the most strict on those types of things. (Too strict.)
