Don’t you think you should want to know about other forms of renewable energy, even though it is not your field or a source of income for you? Are you okay with the negative impact oil production is having on our environment? Because you don’t live in areas that the pollution is very visible does not mean you are not being impacted. Do you realize that the water you are currently drinking has passed through areas like the Athabasca River in Alberta, Canada where fish deformity is being observed because of oil pollution? As a result of the water cycle phenomenon, the water mass on earth is constant and continuously recycled. All people on earth use the same water in its different forms. Therefore, if the people and animals of Athabasca are suffering from water pollution, so are YOU. It may or may not have manifested yet.
