"Every drop of petro-fuel should remain right were it is until/unless the techniques are developed to use it safely. "

Don't take this personally, but that is just nuts; unless you want civilization as we know it to end quickly and in a big fight. JMHO.

Changes can and should be made, but to stop using fossil fuels cold turkey(something that would be impossible to arrange/co-ordinate anyway) would kill millions directly and more millions indirectly, again JMHO.
