Using complete sentences post a detailed response to the following.
Lionel works for an energy company interested in drilling for oil off the coast of a small island. The representative for the local fishing industry, Rochelle, says that locals are vigorously opposed to Lionel’s idea. A town meeting is held. Lionel explains how his company is dedicated to practicing the safest drilling techniques. He explains that oil piped from the ocean’s floor is purer and that it can be harvested in a more efficient way than an oil rig on land. Lionel also emphasizes how much the trucks carrying fish to the markets all over the country would save if local oil was able to be used. Rochelle fires back that in the past, serious accidents with offshore oil drilling have been reported. She points out that if there were a spill, the resulting death of fish would cost the local fisherman their livelihood. Local opinion on the issue is split. Before the town agrees to side with Lionel’s energy company or Rochelle’s local fish industry, officials order a report from a biotechnologist. Everyone agrees to go with what the biotechnologist recommends. Which side do you think the biotechnologist will agree with? Why?
