"I would hate to see that messed up..." I am not sure it would. But that isn't relevant, most of the people in Florida don't want it to happen, and that wish should be respected. We aren't talking about a huge amount of oil here. Something like this is much more important. eet.com

re: Precisely. The chemical discharges come from losing control of the drilling mud. That is much, much worse. Oil leaks are insignificant. Most oil on the beaches here come from tank cleaning operations from the tankers or natural seepage. I usually not a NIMBY person, but an awful lot of folks in Florida make their living based on the beaches. I would hate to see that messed up... Some idiot in DC better get this country on the road to conservation before we have another huge confrontation. There is no way Californians will allow any more drilling off their coast. I suspect Floridians are the same way. Unless there is a huge oil find in the near future, prices per barrel will remain high. ted
