In the earlier years they wanted to keeping drilling for fossil fuels. However, now people are trying to keep it in the ground as much as possible. Also, it has been found that nearly about half of carbon in technologically recoverable fossil fuels is on public land in the U.S. Many environmentalists have been protesting to the government about this. Fossil fuels can cause damage to climate change. Many people are starting to think that this climate change damage could become permanent. Although some people do think we should drill it up. This is because fossil fuels give us things like coal and gas.
