Ronbeau,
My reasoning is simple. Theres always alot of positive details spoken on the side the companies to profit. And I must say, this sounds similiar to what is happening with our gas situation in this country. Even if we were to start drilling today, it could take up to 10 years to see anything that effects the country. Additionally, the drop in gas prices would be only be cents, not even 10's of cents. Now is that worth risking a Exxon Valdez situation ? And you can come back with the likely hood of that happening. But again, it does happen, and just did. Additionally, as Im typing this there was a explosion at a propane facility in Toronto, check todays news. These things happen. Again, think of what would happen to the South Florida economy if something bad happened ONE TIME. There's no taking it back at that point.
I dont want to sit here and get into a pissing contest with anyone. My rational is this, after ONE accident, you cant take it back, it's to late. All the details you and I can research and write back to one another wont be worth crap, it'll be to late, not for everyone though, a energy company will have probably profited greatly by that point, kinda like what your seeing with the oil companies.
We have to respect the environment. We cant always just write it off as progress.
