Thanks for the compliment. These pieces pose the kind of challenge that forces you to watch how much you write. You could write books on these topics. It becomes engrossing once you start learning how these issues really work.
Great job condensing what could have been a really dreary and endlessly long read into something useful and thought-provoking.
From an eco perspective, I think almost no one talks about the massive damage the oil rigs and container ships etc do to the marine environment. How on earth would you even be able to begin to measure those effects??
Thanks for using the ecoTrain tag! There has been a change as we migrate ecoTrain to the communities system..

Then we can all see you and keep supporting your posts!
Keep up the great vlogging and inspiration..

Thank you for your response and continued support.
We could measure impacts to the environment from oil rigs by first estimating what kinds of impacts it could cause. Next we develop metrics to measure the impacts and warnings to impacts we expect.
Over time, we would evaluate and adjust the metrics to be as realistic and accurate as possible. To top it off, you could have a public and utility group oversee this process and guide it to its best efficiency.
I know we can do this because I work in Nuclear Power and these behaviors are required by law. At the onset of Nuclear no one had a clue what to do and I imagine it’s similar for any industry that doesn’t look ahead too far.
My readings, however, show me that the industry is improving in its response towards minimizing its impacts on the environment. One program that has support is the rigs to reef program. When a well is dry the crew cleans up the rig and tips it over forming an artificial reef. The process is long but it is hopeful.
Thank you for the compliment and support. Our next article will be on smartphone and tablets. The piece focuses on how their use impact the environment. Stay tuned!
Excellent article, many points debate. I think that oil is another natural resource on our planet, and that like other resources must be exploited rationally, and to consider the idea of not exploiting it we must change our lifestyle, since everything we demand requires this resource . For me the secret is to cover the principles of rationality and sustainability, since if the exploitation of oil is carried out in a rational way, I believe that we can provide the existence of both this resource and the survival of our planet to future generations.
Hydraulic fracturing or fraking is a secondary recovery method that contemplates the idea of recovering oil from unconventional deposits, however its environmental impact lies in the chemicals applied to make the fluid that is injected into the formation to increase the porosity of the rock that is what happens with the conventional oil fields.
Greetings @scholaris and thanks for sharing this good article.
Thank you for your response and support! Oil is certainly one of those resources we cannot currently avoid using. We have to be very careful to ensure we understand it’s effects and take what precautions are necessary to prevent cross contamination of our water supplies. I hope regulatory agencies keep in mind that we need to take care of the environment as well as our GDP. It does seem as if they are improving on a larger scale with that concept.
Our next article will deal with smartphone and other smart technology. We will observe the costs of production against the environment and our society. Stay tuned!
I think oil is amazing, it literally propelled society out of poverty and in to the modern comfortable world we have today! It's too bad governments are using fear mongering tactics to control the population and implement a tyrannical socialist/communist agenda. The sheep are being lead in to a trap. The so called woke are Sleeping sheep.
Oil is amazing. Its composition alone allows it the industry to process it into virtually anything we need is mind-boggling. I can't speak too well of government fear-mongering tactics, but there is a hint of some form of control someone is using to keep us on oil.
One documentary I watched reported that electric cars were around since the 1900s. We had electric vehicles in the form of taxies. Why wouldn't we have pursued that venture to our current day? I can't imagine how the world would be if we never stopped using electric vehicles.

Haha! Yes, one thing leads to another when you start investigating. It's all interconnected.
