Science brain of the week

From Reuters (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=570&u=/nm/20040430/sc_nm/environment_salmon_dc)

A plan to revise protections for endangered Northwest U.S. salmon drew praise from farmers and industry groups, but environmentalists and fishing advocates said future salmon runs would be gutted...

"I applaud the people that are trying to save species that are endangered," said Gretchen Borck, a lobbyist with the Washington Association of Wheat Growers. "But it might be good that we don't have dinosaurs now. We've gotten oil from the dinosaurs. If we had preserved the dinosaur, we wouldn't have that oil."


If we had preserved the dinosaurs we wouldn't have oil? What planet is this woman from?
