Florida- Hurricane concerns

ANWAR- To many tree-huggers, even though the Alaskan pipeline proves that the oil industry and wildlife/nature can co-exist.

Concerning Florida there are actually people that don't want the oil rigs there because it would ruin the aesthetics of their house/land. They don't want to look off the cost and see an oil rig a mile out.

We have too much of our oil industry concentrated in the Gulf now. Hurricanes already make a big impact on prices when they happen. It would be better to spread things out a little more so one storm doesn’t have such a big effect.

Yup...and there are no hurricanes in Alaska. The Dems want to talk about "energy independence" but won't let the drilling happen in Anwar. (not that it would answer our problems...but hey...it would help)

They (Liberals) also handcuff oil companies building new refineries and drilling new oil wells because of EPA standards. Again...if it helps America the liberals are against it. Same song...same dance..

In fairness Army, the original EPA was a Republican thing. The liberals have taken it to the extreme. It’s one thing to set some environmental standards and something else to raise the bar so high as to shut down production.

None of that really helps America in the long run. All it would do would be to make oil execs even more money because they wouldn't have as far to ship it.

Drilling for oil is a waste of time. Money needs to go into real R&D of viable alternatives instead of deepening the reliance on oil. Pumping new wells under US control would only be a stop gap measure like the ethanol fad. Once people see it's not really helping but hurting they will want something better.

The key isn't finding a few more barrels here but using technology to replace the need for oil not create a false sense of security for a short time.

If Democrats really cared about alternative energy they would be all over Ted Kennedy for blocking that wind farm.
