Sustainabilty & Oil Production.

Today in Ghana, marks the commencement of the first commercial production of crude oil in the country. Many are in celebration mood and others are pondering over the question: Oil- a blessing or a curse?

I know one school of thought will agree its a blessing and another will agree to the other-a curse. Which ever way you see it, keep it to yourself.

On the subject of sustainabilty, how can we ensure that we use this non-renewable resource in a way that will benefit the future generation? This is a question that has been on my mind for some time now and i wish to know what others say about it.

With this oil find, may the country Ghana unite and build a stronger nation. May we respect our environment and ensure that we protect what we have today for the gain of the future generation.
