@ABC Assuming you still *want* oil, with clean natural gas generating limitless electricity or pure-silica solar panels -

@Dry_Observer@ABC OK but that's not happening much, right? What is happening a lot is leaks. Extremely damaginghttp://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/california-natural-gas-leak-just-one-of-thousands-across-country/ … -
@fatalmocking@ABC Yes & concentrating massive amounts w/out safeguards & then trying to transport it long distances has huge problems
