No, but gradually dismantle current oil drilling operations at the fastest possible pace that accounts for the reasonable ability of citizens and businesses to switch to clean-energy alternatives; massive amounts of funding and incentives should be provided to the clean-energy sector. Further, current oil-drilling operations should be held to the utmost safety protocol and non-partisan oversight with at least yearly inspections. All current safety loopholes must be completely eliminated; and, all financial, inside connection, or intimidation influences from fossil-fuel proponents should be forbidden from oversight agencies. Should a safety-related incident occur, the company should be severely penalized and held responsible for cleaning any spill, notifying the government and local communities immediately, and mitigating any lasting effects like diseases caused by exposure.
