“The transition to clean energy is happening worldwide and it’s unstoppable,” IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said in a statement. “Claims that oil and gas represent safe or secure choices for the world’s energy and climate future look weaker than ever.”

Given the reality of global warming and the fact that it takes hundreds of years for CO2 to be removed from the atmosphere (but not all of it), it is more than prudent to take action now to minimize the impact of Climate Change on human habitation....and closer to home, there's the fact that the U.S. is definitely not energy independent, since we have only ~6 yrs of Proven Oil Reserves w/o imports...and 60% of our consumption goes to our military each year.
Be objective...stop denying reality.
