    but the carbon you’ll keep out of the atmosphere might just help to keep our planet’s ecosphere viable.

    This is only if nations stop burning oil even if it’s cheap.

    Nations aren’t going to stop burning oil until it’s too expensive.

      That’s why oil should have the cost of climate change and healthcare from pollution added to it. If oil was as expensive as the true cost, we’d have ditched it decades ago.

        I totally agree, but the people we put in power don’t care about the true cost because we don’t.

        Collectively speaking, anyways.
