Timber, I will just say that I don't know of a single case where drilling for oil harmed an ecosystem. True, arctic and desert environments are fragile, but the middle eastern fields are in desert, and I don't see anyone pleading with the sheikhs to stop their drilling, there. The desert grassslands that used to exist around the Big Bend area of Texas was destroyed, but by sheep farming, not drilling, which is confined to a few spots of an acre at most, and the roads to connect them.
