Drilling can lead to habitat destruction, air and water pollution, and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions. Spills and leaks from drilling operations can also contaminate water sources and harm wildlife. Additionally, the extraction and transportation of oil can lead to accidents such as oil spills, which can have long-lasting and devastating effects on ecosystems and communities.
