Why are you hung up on a binary view of this? Do you think our current usage of oil is responsible?

Do you think a corporation encouraging extensive oil use at all cost is the same thing as "oil saves lives?"

It's not.

I think our current usage of oil is responsible yes and I think it's irresponsible to not use oil.

There are no realistic alternatives to 99% of our current use of oil which includes more or less any product used in a modern civilization so unless you can point me to some alternatives I think you are the one who has the immoral position.
