Hearing a whole stadium chanting drill baby drill last night left me feeling a little sick to my stomach.
Now I realize how beneficial it would be for us to use our own oil and not be dependent on unfriendly countries for our energy.
BUT....
Is drilling the answer?
I worry that the resources put into creating huge pipelines, more drills, etc. will just push off the recognition that we need to stop burning oil and not leave it to our children and their children to clean up our mess. Our world is changing because we burn fossil fuels at an alarming rate, people unable to defend themselves from our pollution are dying at alarming rates...but here we have a lady who is 44, not even the "boomer" generation but our generation vowing to "drill baby drill"
Our parents, and we love them, raised us on McDonalds, boxed dinners and processed everything..the mindset of give it to me now, give it to me fast, and if I want it just charge it. I want my children eating healthy foods, not constantly wanting more stuff, understanding the benefits of saving and spending....I want them to leave this world a better place then it was when they got here. Big handprint...small footprint
