You really need to get control of your emotions and quit saying things that aren't true.
If I have to pay 10 bucks a gallon for fuel and in return know that our shores and marshes will not polluted by oil like Alaska and Louisiana have had to deal with. I think that would be a fair trade off.
But, once again you have no facts to support your theory on how that would happen.
If we stop off shore drilling and do more on land drilling. And then institute much higher fuel economy standards. And stop drinking water from plastic bottles, and develop alternative energy ideas, and so on, we can stop drilling off shore, and probably not have to double the price of energy.
This is not a new idea John. Here on the East Coast, we've been opposed to drilling for years.
I think Obama would seal his coffin as far as ever being re-elected if he ever considers opening up the East Coast for drilling again. Sarah drill baby drill Palin sealed her fate along time ago by supporting off shore drilling.
