Drilling for Oil off our coast
Bush today said he was going to push again for drilling oil off our coast. Rep. Sue Myrick of NC has been pushing for it as well. We are the only industrialized Nation that has a coast that doesn't drill off of it. In recent times we've not heard about any problems with spills and what not with drilling off the coast of Texas. Some groups say there is minimal risk. Others say it will destroy the environment. Do you think drilling is a good idea and will it help solve our problems? It sounds good to me. What does everyone else think?

Not to worry, Obama immediately said he will not allow it to happen due to the risk of the environmental impacts.

I dont think it would cause any problems.
These Eco conservative nuts are to high strung. Now will it help out with the price of gas, not likely. Well at least not for quite awhile. Even when and if it does help out I doubt it will be more than marginal. |

This is true as well, however as long as there is a profit in oil this will never happen. It may be explored but it will not be put into mass production until there is no other choice. |

When Katrina came through the gulf, and there was no (or little damage), that proved that drilling was safer now than ever, and that convinced me to support it. If not, Cuba will get better at slant drilling and take it from us anyway. Might as well use it ourselves first. IMO. crazy

You mentioned getting oil from Saudi Arabia, why do that? Do you want to fund their terrorists?! If we drill from America WE will be the ones receiving the money from customers, not Osama Bin Laden. I never said we should drill for oil off shore, I suggest we drill in Alaska and states out west where there are many un-tapped resources. You say oil is a fossil fuel, we all knew that. Of course it will be gone some day, most of us learned that in 1st grade. There are tons of scientists and graduate students working on a new/better solution to our needs. In the mean time, WE NEED OIL! You say that oil will become cheaper as the "renewable resource industry grows"..... I doubt it. We have "corn oil" now and all gas has done is rise in price. The more options people have to choose from, the less people that will choose oil. Therefore companies will need to raise their prices to stay in business. The OPPOSITE of what you suggested! We will not be trashing the Earth by drilling for oil. Littering will cause more problems then drilling. I had a discussion with an elmer a few weeks ago and he said that there would be few problems if any (because of drilling for oil). You talk about oil being a fossil fuel (non renewable)..... then you say that we can't use all the oil up or else our children's future will be harsh.... Wake up and smell the bacon Duncan, oil will be gone someday. It IS a fossil fuel. As for the environment, it's already screwed up. How do you think Al Gore made billions off of Global Warming. Don't fund the terrorists by supporting simply importing oil from Saudi Arabia and other third world countries. Support America! |
