That wasn't really my point though. The discovered deposits, well expected deposits since its based on modelling data, could easily lead to a massive mining operation to extract it. That will do damage very similar to the exact kind of fossil fuel extraction that is a main argument against fossil fuels and for alternative energy sources.


Sure it will lead to a big hole, but is that really damage?

For me, it’s the burning of the planet which is damage. You can cover a hole back up, you can’t bring back the entire planet.

No one likes working in a coal mine. I'm not sure what you think a comment like this is helping, but it isn't.
