But we don't live in 1810 or 1910 for that matter.

Of course not. What made possible the technical innovation for less pollution on land, in the air/water?

There are indeed some environmentalists that would rather we all live in mud huts and ride donkeys to and fro, but the fact remains that the evil energy source despised by environmentalists and some on the Left has allowed the health/wealth of the world to dramatically increase over the last 200 years.

It's not like you can blame the left for the fact that there is a finite amount of oil and we will run out of it. It's just the way it is.

That's not what I'm saying, although environmentalists have been claiming for decades we will run out of oil. AFAIK, we keep finding more.
