This would mean continued oil drilling that would deplete the earth's resources and have the potential to cause spill disasters. It would also mean more funding for clean energy research and development. **Write an essay in which you defend, challenge, or qualify Marshall and Bartlett's claim**.// //Use your own background knowledge and the articles you've read to support your opinion ("Drilling for Clean Energy", "Relearning Oil Spill Lessons", and "Inconvenient Truth").//
