That's a beautiful area, but it's not like they would drop napalm on the whole place. An oil derrick is a pretty small contraption in the scheme of things. Energy companies go in, suck out the oil and gas, remove the equipment, and the land heals. A hundred years from now no one will know they were ever there.
I would be all for using solar or wind or fusion or anything else other than fossil fuels if it met our needs, that just isn't the reality today. And the pressure is only going to get worse until we find an alternative.
