I'd say it goes a little beyond simply being honest. At present, our society, in fact, global society, is hugely dependent on oil. We have the capacity to produce a lot of oil, but do not at present have the capacity to deliver it as the world needs. By all means seek alternative energy sources, but in the meantime let's plan to deliver our oil where it is needed. I'm no long-term supporter of pipelines, but it seems to me the height of stupidity to bloc hem now, when they are so needed.
