Lol, get off the computer and become Amish. You have no idea how many time's I've wanted to say that.
The bottom line of the argument is this: needs win out. As of right now alternative energy sources are too expensive or not as effective, and thus until we find a different, cheaper way to power our lives, natural resources must be used. (And don't even get me started on 'electric cars'; the electricity needs to come from SOMEWHERE, and where is that? Electrical power plants, which, surprise surprise!, burns coal. Ergo, electrical cars = more burning of coal, which is just as bad as any fuel-powered cars.)
