I just don't understand how protecting the environment is even considered a political issue. To me it's just common sense. It shouldn't matter if you're conservative or liberal or libertarian or something else. Actually, conservatives especially really should appreciate the value of environment protection, or should I say conservation? You'd think a conservative would be particularly keen on things like clean water and generally reducing pollution. The same should be true for Christians with their ideas of 'stewardship' and 'dominion'.

Hydrocarbons really are a destructive fuel in so many ways, and we just need to make an effort to replace them with renewable or minimally polluting energy technologies. It really is the only way forward.
