Of course allowing more drilling will help us overcome our energy problems. It will also make more jobs for Americans and help our balance of payments too. The impact of OCS drilling will be minimal. Converting America's public car fleet to nat gas and private cars to hybrids will have a much, much bigger impact. Which are we supposed to switch our cars to, natural gas or electricity? BTW did you know the leasing ban you defend keeps a lot of natural gas off the market? See Destin Dome offshore Pensacola. Which is increasingly being burned to make electricity. How do you justify pushing natural gas and preventing drilling for it at the same time? But your company hopes to get some of those leases. That means you have a vested interest in seeing OCS drilling happening. In a more honorable world, someone in your position would excuse themselves from the discussion. You just want to keep knowledgeable people out of the debate. That wouldn't be good for the country. Algor makes big bucks off the selling of "carbon credit" indulgences. Should he abstain from the climate debate? Should people in the solar or wind fields abstain from energy debates?
