Why would you trust any airline, after seeing the Air France
crash in the Atlantic last year costing about 200 lives?
Seeing as how there are about 14,000 oil companies
operating in the US alone, your comment seems somewhat
prejudiced, as I'm certain you have no oil industry
experience, and you don't know anyone whom
you're accusing of environmental rape personally.
You do realize don't you, that oil companies do not draw
dollar bills directly out of the ground? If oil companies are
"raping" the land, it's only because people like you and I buy
their products, and we also patronize companies that
buy their products (how do you think the food you buy is
cultivated, harvested, processed, and delivered to your
local market?).
Someday we'll all be off oil. But until that time,
wishing for a magic answer is not very productive.
In the meantime, perhaps you can advise airline
and oil companies alike how to eliminate human error
and how to conduct their operations without any
environmental footprint whatsoever, while they produce
the products you demand. I'm sure leaders
everywhere will be interested in your answer.
