With the increased global demand in oil and gas, undiscovered areas of the world should be opened up to access more resources. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

As the global population expands, the desire for fossil fuels
also
skyrockets. Many think that we should open up the unfound land to be able to use the resources it has. I absolutely disagree with
this
statement.
First
of all,
instead
of finding new places for mining, numerous nations have started to harness the

For instance
