That's valid. But I believe the impact to the environment has been greatly exagerrated.
I think there`s two issues here.

Localised enviromental damage from drilling and globalised damage from carbon fuels.

Do you consider the first issue to be exagerrated too?

And, whilst I understand that you have not yet been convinced with regards the second, do you not think it wise, considering the mounting weight of evidence in support, the near universal consensus of scientists and the scale of the catastrophe predicted, to consider a moritorium on further expansion and pursue, with all vigour, alternative energy sources? At least until a clearer picture emerges?
