Or research and development in to better ways to avoid the disasters you warn of. <br /> To me it seems a better use of that capital to wean our selfs of the oil of people who want to see you and I dead.<br /><br />Olevet69, you say that we should demand energy independence, then claim we should meet our enemies price. Which is it your in favor for giving our enemies money for their resources or developing our own to be independent?G.I.Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-75152729710199708092011-04-23T10:06:53.825-05:002011-04-23T10:06:53.825-05:00U no wat?

I sorta hope the GOPers win this one, they won't be in power forever and it will be a dozen years and many legal battles (with lots of money coming into Dem attorneys' coffers) before we see one single rig off our coast. The fight will keep BP, Exxon, etc. in court for many years. When the Dems eventually get control they should add a rider that says any oil washing up on the beach property of Republicans when hurricanes take out the rigs is their own responsibility to clean up, and they agree to forgo federal disaster assistance. Besides, who needs NC seafood? We can get all we want from the Gulf, right?brotherdochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03597543573448439126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194583.post-66622238451425817442011-04-23T07:28:38.905-05:002011-04-23T07:28:38.905-05:00Well, GIG, we can enjoy all that oil marinated gul...Well, GIG, we can enjoy all that oil marinated gulf seafood while we work to destroy our coast.<br /><br />We should demand energy independence, not more oil.
