Doesn't bother me. We'd be joining several other countries that are out there drilling as we speak.Bush lifting ban on oil drilling?
I can see both sides of the argument - economic vs. ecological. But I'm glad he did it because something has got to be done about gas prices. For a family (like mine) who's been under the stress of unemployment for a whole year, it's too tough to keep going with these kinds of prices.
And it's not just gasoline, either. Over the last two winters there have been a lot of families struggling to heat their homes in the winter. Just imagine how much worse it will be this year. We spend so much time worrying about the problems in other countries, but this is what the news here will look like this year: A) People freezing to death and B) people dying in fires because a faulty space heater is cheaper than running the furnace.
I live on the Mississippi Gulf coast. Where is the best fishing? Around the oil riggs. Go figure. Real environmentalist's should consider this..... The oil is being drilled either way, we buy 70% of what we use from other countries. Are these countries as enviormentaly consience as we are. No.
The modern day enviormentalist movement is so far off base on this one. If they really want the enviorment protected they would support drilling our own oil where we can do it in the enviormentally consience way that we already do.
As well as the benefit of these terrorists not having as much oil money to build bombs to kill us.
Think for yourselves and stop drinking the green Koolaid.
Since this will take 10 years to realize any benefits (as the congress has repeatedly said) it's really too bad that Clinton vetoed the same thing back in 1996 when the republican led congress handed him the bill with they're approval, thats 12 years ago now, we would be benifitting now, just when we need it most. Not sure what that says for refining anything we pump out domestically, would we still have to export it to refine??
What a joke !!! T Boone Pickens has a much better plan and could be implemented in less time than adding more rigs in the ocean with a far greater benefit.
This is a continuation of the process that brought us to this point.
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over the same way and expecting a different outcome.
The lack of a real energy policy is truly INSANE.
I assure you, any oil that is found will be deemed classified and wells will be capped, this happened so many times in alaska in the 70's, The Worldbank and IMF have NO intentions of letting anyone being energy independent.
research Lindsey Williams.
We should have been drilling all along! But this was mostly symbolic because the Dimocrats in congress will never let it happen.
It wont change the price of gas.The price for a gallon of gas will never go below $4 no matter how much oil we suck out of the earth.
I go with oil drilling if it means lower gas prices. Whales and dolphins gonna have to cope with it for a while.
It really doesn't matter at this point because the dems will not allow it anyway!
Drill it. Dems better get on board or lose the election, again.
Maybe the price will go down as a result.
Its about time!
Good for him. I'm so happy we didn't elect that liberal weenie John Kerry.
Totally against it. What's the point, really? A few gallons of oil at the cost of our nation's coastlines? No thanks. I'll walk.
