Personally I think we are quite capable of finding ways to run our ground transportation and electrical without fossil fuel... and it is long past time to commit to doing so.
Air travel is another thing and I would like to believe we are capable of caring about future generations of man by not being completely hell bent on burning every drop of oil as fast as we can find it. Or shall we just assume mankind is doomed and forget about life 200, 300, 400 years from now?
Hawaii island is rather well poised to meet our own needs and do away with the oil addiction. Sooner the better.
This Keystone Pipeline is a long term commitment to burning as much oil as possible as fast as possible. Bad choice.
It has been so long since any political body has thought long term versus short term that it might not be recognized if it happened.

Assume the best and ask questions.
