Haiti happens to lie along a fault line where the northern tectonic plate is moving in one direction (eastward if memory serves), and the southern plate is moving in the opposite direction. Earthquakes happen.

Global warming argument aside. So you think we have enough oil to last forever ? Do you care about what we leave those that come after us ?

Grumpy, you'd better be careful. You're starting to sound like a tree-hugger.

Regards,

No I don't, and yes I do.

On point one; This is why I think, that so long as there is oil to be sucked out of the ground elsewhere, we would be idiots to drill here. We should suck their reserves dry, and I mean to last drop, whilst advancing research into alternative fuel and energy sources. When theirs runs out, we would have plenty, and maybe even have our consumption down so it would last even longer. Being the last country on earth with large petroleum reserves would be of immense economic benefit to future generations.

"Drill Baby, drill!!" is the mantra of the short-sighted and reactionary, IMHO.

On point two; Well, I think I've already covered that.

The Seychelles are not sinking, the oceans are rising.

Pun intended, right?
