It's convenient to think of things in the past as always being one way or the other, but we should remember that Lincoln's funeral train avoided Cincinnati because of concerns for northern Copperheads - and this after the war was all but over! 1940 had its own share of debate and disagreement - had it not been so, the US would have responded differently to Chamberlain's appeal from Munich in '37.
Ultimately, conservation and moderation are not crimes, pursuing new sources for energy is prudence against future fluctuations of this sort, and encouraging our overweight bottoms to do some self-propelled motion to stores and parks is just common sense.
Does this mean that people shouldn't go RVing? Of course not. We have a 6L truck with a 31' trailer. On a good day we'll see 12mpg, more often it's around 11. We can plan around this. I may not like it, but we can plan. And we do.
Is the oil in these new reserves recoverable? In all likelihood, but at what cost remains to be seen. It may pan out to be $140-145 given today's price of 2016 oil futures; it may not.
