I'm interested in hearing more about this statement/collection of statements. I'm interested in hearing the opinions of someone who feels we are headed towards destruction, but feels there are a large volume of fossil fuel reserves presently untapped...

Wouldn't tapping the untapped reserves rush us towards the precipice of destruction, as many environmentalists predict?

I'll start there... I'd like to try to have a civilized discussion on a number of the points brought up here, I have to think about the idealism aspect and try to form a coherent thought on it to add to the discussion...
