Man is part of the Earth and Nature. We adapt to the environment of the entire planet, which is something most life forms cannot do.

We need energy; whether it comes from cutting down trees for firewood, to stay warm in the Ice Age or extracting oil and gas from the ground under our feet.

Humans need and want energy. Solar, Wind and Algae farms are government subsidized fantasies, that can never power our civilization. Even if we were to achieve 100% of our power from Nuclear, Hydroelectric and Geothermal sources, we would still need gas and oil for their byproducts.

Today, I think people and industry are doing a decent job of balancing the need to continually increase our energy supply, while at the same time doing what we can to reduce pollution to the environment. This was not always the case, in the past.

No one wants to live in a polluted, dirty environment. No one wants to live like they do Bangladesh or Tanzania, where they consume little power per capita.
