If you believe that fossil fuels are going to become extinct in 20-30 years, then we should be extracting as much of it out of the ground as fast as humanly possible. Who in their right mind would leave a valuable resource people want to buy in the ground out of altruism especially if you expect that resource to be worthless in the medium to long term?
Don't try and argue "climate change" either, extracting our oil will do nothing to change China's, India's or even the US's climate policies. Make the money now and maybe you can use it to fuel progressive fantasies. Who am I kidding, it is going to go to fat public service benefits.
