Kids (current and future consumers of resources) are EXACTLY the reason that companies are undertaking these risky activities which have such terrible side effects.

Having 19 kids, who then each have 19 kids, whose kids then have 19 kids, creates the population which creates the huge aggregate demand for the kinds of products which require oil, and the companies then respond to that demand, which results in problems like you mentioned (ducks coated in oil, etc)

The amount of money spent on these risky activities worldwide is directly proportional to the demand for them, and potential $. Billions would not be invested if trillions of potential revenue were not visible at the end of the tunnel.
