Funny thing about fanatics, to them there are only 2 sides to an argument theirs and anyone else's. Everyone who is not an enviro-religious fanatic is not necessarily against conservation of resources. I feel fanaticism is the worst human trait of all, "You are either one of us, or you are an enemy". Almost all of human nastiness is based upon that premise. It justifies your doing anything to someone who is "not one of us".

What both sides, but especially the lets just burn the stuff side misses, is that oil is much to valuable a resource to just burn up.
The environmentalists have the right idea, but not necessarily the wrong reasons. The opposing group pretty much has their heads up their asses.
