LIke most thoughtful people, we at IX Water recognize that our modern quality of life is a direct result of the exploitation and use of hydrocarbons. We are not “pro oil,” we are pro life and recognize the value hydrocarbons play to almost everyone on Earth until we can make a global switch to a better fuel and source of raw energy. But we also know we can always do better in terms of the impact the oil and gas industry and it’s use has on natural and built environments and the life that inhabit those environments.
