I do find it curious how this thread is the only place I've seen where most people are for this and not against it. Even the comment section in the Sun is mostly against this.

We're running out of easily accessible oil. There's a great deal of oil left in the world...it's just harder and more expensive to get.
Agreed oil will be phased out after a while (though at the moment, I think we need to get out of the coal phase first...a vast majority of the US household electricity is still coal generated. Oil is mostly a transportation fuel).
