If we do expand it we will be creating more pollution, something that we're trying to avoid and fix. Also, what are you going to do when the oil reaches the ocean? it will lead to a decrease in sea life, leaving the food chain to become unbalanced.

As for pollution, while it is true that oil and gas production does contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, it's worth mentioning that natural gas is a much cleaner energy source compared to coal. As a transition fuel,… Read more
