Comment regarding exploration drilling project

An Impact Assessment Agency of Canada post via the social media outlet Twitter announcing Suncors' intention to conduct exploratory drilling in the Jeanne d'Arc Basin area is distressing. Scaling back on further exploitative and hazardous resource development while pursuing further integration along commercial lines with alternative energy production methods (and the resources required to produce economically viable returns) is prefferable. High Density Polyethylene, polyacrylonitrile(s), etc, are not going to be subject to a decrease of demand in the future. Simply put, even if the resouce deposit remains intact or unutilised, it remains available for future exploit by means of more sustainable methods of extraction as those techniques become available. Supplying nuclear energy production fascilities with the plastic products they need is a better use of the base product. Please consider lending the expertise and ever-increasing degrees of the considerable resources that are available to making the most of an expedited transition.

I understand that what I'm suggesting is equivalent to asking a major oil company to: "Just change everythng about the entire company and by extension the global economy, please?". However, that doesn't necessarily make it a bad suggestion.
