>>"Don't worry about it."<<

Maurice, I am not that naive but thanks for your concern re the digging and fracking part. OK, maybe fracking is causing some minor local "earthquakes" and maybe even serious water issues but...? It is the burning part that is the very real concern to me although I must admit I have now and then wondered what happens to those dry holes in the upper part of the earth's crust that contained all that vegetation turned into oil that has been removed. I know, I know...you are a geologist also and have the answer.

My take is that we are smart enough today to take care of our energy needs with renewables which ok, eliminates the digging part but goes after the most serious issue; the rapidly expanding atmospheric pollution which is causing climate change (global warming) and more and more identified problems in the seas. We need to get really serious about it now.

Now re your comment about Steven Chu from your other note...

>>"
Steven Chu seems to me to be like the promoters of lead. He has a vested interest."<<

What might his vested interest be? And since you say you have some oil industry experience...who really has the "vested interest"?...Steven Chu and the vast majority of knowledgeable scientists that agree with him or the fossil fuel industry that provides most of the world's energy and is fouling up our atmosphere more and more as the energy needs of the planet grow so rapidly?

Ok my turn... yup, who really has the vested interest?...are you really that naive?
