I was just thinking that you who know so much about environmental issues and developing new sciences might have some creative ideas about where an old profession is finding better, more eco-friendly usage. I was absolutely not suggesting you should (or could) hire my mother. Hey, I hate oil as much as the next recycling, bicycling, eco-friendly product buying person, but again just trying to be realistic. And replying to the first comment. I am aware this post is a syndicated column. I was just posting, in relation to ocean health, that the US would wreak less damage if oil wasn't imported. Obviously, not using oil at all would be the ideal situation. I am aware this is a blog and not a large business.

And scientists everywhere have said we won't even get the oil off our shores, if at all, for 10-12 years. It's a political move that will only hurt the environment and do nothing to ween us off oil. It's pointless. As for your email, I am not sure what you want in a reply (I don't remember receiving it) as I just write this website - I don't hire anyone.

Oil use will not disappear in 10 years, and yes there is still plenty left. If you're think GLOBALLY instead of LOCALLY, it's better and safer for the oceans if oil was drilled closer to home. Not to mention the US would care a lot more about regulations and safety issues on home turf than in developing countries. Most of this information comes from my mother, a geologist who has worked for a number of oil companies over the years. She's sick of the business, and while she is trying to be more humanitarian by working in aid programs to help establish non-corrupt oil departments in developing countries, she's still seeking more rewarding work. I wrote to you some time ago about suggestions and am still awaiting a reply. Where is a highly esteemed geologist with a big heart to go? Yes I read that – doesn’t make my points moot.
