Yeah well guess what, when Obama gets in and the Democrats hold all three branches of government The bans will go back into place so haha to you! The Dems decided to let the flailing Repubs have their way to shut them up for the election year. Fuck Newt (served his wife with divorce papers while she was dying with cancer and screwing his mistress while leading impeachment against Clinton) bastard. We WILL have alternative energy for real this time Obama is going to change the world!

Yes and they blatantly lie-I heard a LOT of politicans say offshore drilling is envirnomentally friendly. *Every single hurricane that went through the golf produced oil spills*. Katrina had 44 scattered oil spills and dumped literally thousands of gallons of crude into the ocean. I would stop eating fish and lobsters-crude oil is getting in their systems and you are eating crude. Americans are such suckas-politicians lie and people believe them.

finaly its so stupid drilling is pointless and it takes effect in 10 years the also oil barges are not envermently freindly

The more we drill, the more people will want. Already USA owes hundreds of billions of dollars to China (now with this bailout we will borrow even more from them), so who do you think will get first dibbs on the crude? How is this going to help our gas prices. Politicians-they lie, and you all believe it. The American people are such suckas.

Well, looks like the wildest dreams of the nation have been answered. NO BAIL-OUT!

$2 a gallon gas will never happen-ever again. Crude gets sold to the world market-whereas China and India's technologies rivals our own. That means competition which means higher fuel costs. With more offshore drilling, expect more oil spills in the ocean. Remember the golf is hurricane infested water. Each hurricane had offshore oil spills-barely covered in the media,but it happened. Katrina had 44 spills. Quit eating fish-crude oil gets into their systems.

The government should have been encouraging alternative vehicle technology since the Nixon years. And you are right-most people cannot afford the price of electric cars now. But you can do a lot in ten years-by that time they will become affordable. Point is, drilling will take 10+ years to yeild anything-and *most will be sold to China*. Most of the Alaskian oil is sold to Asian countries already.

Well then let's get some oil out of a place we'll never use (unless we burn a LOT more oil, that is ;P), and sell it off to one of our debtor nations. We owe a mint to China...

Oklahoma and the ocean are two different things. You can't clean up with goes in the ocean-and they don't bother. You don't quite get it-cleaning up is not possible what gets spilled in the ocean.

And shutting the country down isn't an option either (not that you suggested it, but it would be the only other alternative I can see). We'd be in deep recession faster than you can say "Great Depression".
