[QUOTE="PaulieN, post: 528616, member: 30819"] No need to get rid of the oil industry, as you rightly say, we'll still need some of it. It just needs scaling down massively to a sensible size to supply oil for product manufacture and lubrication, but we have to stop burning the stuff en-masse. Workers always lose jobs when technology moves on, the minors all lost their jobs, 100 or so years ago vast amounts of horse related industries lost their jobs. Most will find new, sometimes better employment, people move on. It is a tragedy for some individually who can't/won't adapt, but that's life. We can't wreck the planet for future generations and our children's health just to keep people employed in obsolete polluting industries. [/QUOTE]
