I look forward to the Java and I pray you are right. Just not sure how we can risk the unknown. If we must look at history for our answers, drilling seems to be a poor decision. That is simply fact. Are you sure you are not the one being misled or the guy with an unreasonable slightly considered view on this particular issue?
Now the oil industry has found a new strategy ? exploit Americans? distress over high gas prices by claiming that offshore drilling will make gas cheaper. It?s not true, but, unfortunately, it?s working. Some of our elected officials are wavering, even backing the industry. And let?s face it ? it?s hard for an elected official to stand up against a lie that their constituents believe.
Your elected officials need to know you don?t buy the big oil lie, and you still want them to draw a line in the sand against offshore drilling in Florida
The oil industry is making record profits, proving it?s not a problem of availability; it?s a problem of greed. It banked $44 billion in just three months and spent $80 million on lobbyists to call for more drilling and to oppose real solutions. Oil companies have access to 68 million acres that they haven?t started to drill on yet. And the Department of Energy says offshore drilling will not make gas cheaper before 2030, and even then, the difference would be negligible.
Offshore drilling will not reduce gas prices!
BTW, we already have world class fishing.
I was going to say that! thanks bobbyj.
