Global Warming

Exactly.

Oil is far too valuable a resource to waste it as fuel and asphalt. We need it to make plastics for the generations to come.
It is possible to meet the entire planet's energy needs with technologies such as solar panels and windmills, but neither technology is 24x7 reliable in terms of output.

A great deal of clean energy can be had by using geothermal. That simply requires drilling rig technology to bore deep holes into the ground, in order to tap into the heat that is always available down there.

geothermal has been proven as a good energy source many times over.
what i'm saying is we have the ability to create clean energy and the products to use it.

on the plastic thing;
oil pollutes the atmosphere when its used as a fuel. when it used in plastics the co2 isn't released. if it's turned into the right kind of plastic, said plastics can be reused by chipping and remolding. no landfill sites etc. as it is we're only just starting to recycle plastics on a large scale. we need to be more proficient at it.
