In response to Peter Chen’s post in relation to the Enbridge Pipeline, I have to say that I completely agree. In this day in age the world is literally addicted to oil. It seems as if we don’t even understand how many products, tool devices ect. use or require oil. It’s easy to just see people protest, not understand the benefits or necessities, and join in. Like Peter mentioned, when you don’t have a personal connection or understanding of the other side of the argument it seems obvious to oppose it. There are also no other alternatives. I doubt that all the people protesting are whiling to give up the use of oil in general- which is the only actual alternative to this environmental threat.
