Do we understand the earth so well that we know how oil is used by the earth?

When we take out all this oil how does it effect the earths crust and plates?

Can this affect earthquake or Volcanic action?

If we don't change to alternatives and we have to line up at pumps and not go to work who will run the shop?

Will the shop run?

Will we all be nice and sit around and hug each other?

Why not sit around and wait and see?

Is coal always given to those that start.

Coal leaves me kind of nostalgic. I liked going down into my grandmothers cellar, grandfather was dead at that time, I was 7, and I found coal. I asked my grandmother about it and she said that's what we use to run the boiler on to heat the house. I was amazed that something that dirty would be used.

To me coal was an old fuel 44 years ago. My grandmother saw it as antiquated.
