\nwritten by AirunJae , September 15, 2008\nIt is short-sighted because it is further ripping up the environment for a microscopic gain 10-20 years from now. Further, I believe that there is already quite a bit of land that has already been ok'd for use by the Oil companies, but there's a big push for offshore drilling. How about we spend the effort into getting off of oil, and transitioning to making our own energy to possibly bring new jobs to the U.S.. That seems like something all Americans, regardless of political affiliation would be in support of... but maybe not?
Yeah, right...\nwritten by Merp , September 15, 2008\nWhy in the world would we limit ourselves to offshore drilling? Getting out of this mess is going to take hitting every single petroleum deposit the US has, and taking those resources and energy and using it to drive production of wind farms, new nuclear plants, solar panel factories, and every other alternative source under the sun. Get the price down slightly to get some breathing room, then go nuts leaving burning hydrocarbons behind.
