I get that we don't have anything in place now, but I wonder why we don't seem to be pursuing these alternatives in a focused way instead of drilling more (which will also take plenty of time and money to show results).
I'd personally like to see us shift our focus from drilling to these alternatives. If we start now, we can completely be free of oil in the near future, right?
