<<You don't lose anything into the environment if you don't drill. We know where the oil is, and it's not going anywhere. It's a finite resource; it will get more expensive as it is depleted. Other people have some, we have some. So we let the others drill theirs now, and buy it from them now, while except for occasional temporary surges caused by politics it is relatively cheap, and save ours for the days when it starts running dry, and it gets really expensive. >> That is far from the idea brought to the table by this administration - they would rather lock up this resource for all time! btw, you sidestepped the obvious point of my argument - MORE petroleum escapes into the oceans through transporting it here via supertankers than by drilling nearby off shore or here on the mainland! Those which would have us import petroleum instead of using our own due to a perceived environmental concern are simply liars - lying to themselves & all who would listen.
