insanity defined: repeating the same actions and expecting a different outcome.
we must do something. as I said WAY back in the beginning, drilling would be a start (just as others have said). I also said that drilling was not where we should stop. I also said that we should invest in all other forms of alternative energy. I also pointed out that there is more natural seeping through the ocean floor than from an oil rig drilling. the spills are from transportation accidents, not rigs. there will be transportation even if we don't drill, therefore drilling is not adding to the problem. all these points, I have made and haven't seen anyone (legitimately) challenge them yet because you can't.
someone mentioned the chemicals and such used when drilling but they are in a closed system with tanks. I see no argument that holds water against drilling. all that is being written here is we need to not rely on oil. duh. until there is a viable alternative to oil, we are stuck. environmentalist quacks simply want the oil to be harder to get, higher priced, and ultimately too hard to aquire so we are forced to go green, nevermind the troubles it causes people in the mean time.
as of tonight, 87% of Americans say drill now. is florida the only place to do so? no. drill everywhere so i can keep driving my '68 big block camaro, '23 ford roadster, and dodge pickup with a hemi. and to get everyone else mad... i run over trees with my tractor for fun - treehuggers worst nightmare.
you should all get educated on oil drilling like me. I watch BLACK GOLD on tv everyday so yes, I am an expert!
