I understand the amount we might ever extract pales in comparison to the amount that would upset any natural phenomena.

Is it true that we once had the same rationale with coal?

I would say that with coal, we never even considered the impact - carbon dioxide, much less the greenhouse effect, were unknown when we started burning coal in earnest.

With wind power, smart people have at least sat down and done the math.
