As humans, we have a responsibility to protect this planet - we are the top of the food chain.
While new drilling may not do much if any damage, the point is, a few hundred years from now, the supply/demand on oil will no longer make it a cost effective, or renewable, energy source. so NOW is the time to look forward.

Now it's time to think longer term, and realize the lessons we learned from oil/coal like don't pollute our planet.
