Should we burn all the oil in the world quickly or use it slowly?

I once heard someone say, to the effect of: why should we slowly use our oil in gas conserving cars/hybrids. What would really push us to develop alternative fuels is if we just burn it as quickly as possible in large SUVs.Should we burn all the oil in the world quickly or use it slowly?
Slowly.





The switch to alternative fuels will be driven by global warming not by running out of oil.





We are already seeing the effect of pollution released over the last 200 hundred years and we need time to develop cleaner and cleaner technology to slow the acceleration of global warming.Should we burn all the oil in the world quickly or use it slowly?
the faster we use it up the sooner we can do something bout those damn spotted owls
It's not how quickly or slowly we burn it. It's how wisely we use it. It is used for things other than burning. Teaching others to use it wisely will result in a beneficial result.
Definitely slowly so we have more time to invent a car or automobile that runs on something besides gas.
