We can get energy from ecosystems. We can't get water or food from crude oil. This isn't about environmentalists vs. the economy; it's about people who understand that we're about to run out of oil vs. people who don't care and want stuff now.
I would love to see a credible link that says all oil will be gone in 20 years. The oceans were supposed be completely dead in 10 years....20 years ago. Oil was supposed to run out in the 1930's and yet.....
Please show me a viable source of energy from "ecosystems". Have you learned nothing from Europe?
