The extraction of oil is quite damaging to the environment. The use of oil causes damage to the environment. Oil is the cause of some wars, corruption, and extensive environmental damage in some countries. There is no inherent right to use oil. There is no inherent right to do as we please to the environment. At least, not in many peoples' perception. The climate will change. Do we want to speed it along? Do we want to adapt to the changing climate with toxins in the water and ground? I don't and thankfully many others share my opinion. I do not believe we are at liberty to do as we please to the environment and it is proper for society to intervene through its government.
