Well let the drilling begin

I cannot believe that we have come back to something a quarter of a century old. We have put our safety in danger, our coasts may end up tar pits, and possibly the end of clean waters and beach life. I for one do not want to take a chance and have an oil spill in the ocean. Not only does it pollute the water, it will endanger millions both in and out of the sea.

Now the Democrats are letting the bill die by not doing anything. Obama was against offshore drilling and his party goes off and supports the whole "drill baby drill" mantra that Palin started. I wonder if the drilling will include Alaska, it probably will. I just think it is appalling that a Governor supports drilling in the refuge area, but I guess that is what we get from strong conservatives.

I think that this is the beginning of the end for oil, not only will it take years to even extract oil for the masses, will it even be worth it? We are supposed to be making progress into the future, and 1973 then and now is still the past. So I am upset that we are not making progress. Hopefully the drilling speculation will drive down prices, hopefully there will be no oil spills, and hopefully oil is extracted safely and quickly, if at all.

I am still waiting for Hydrogen fueled cars, we have another 10 to 15 years until that happens. Wait I think the oil will be extracted by then. We still hope for electric cars, but the latest cars from GM will also run on gasoline after 40 miles. Progress and change need to be made and those in charge of the future fuel better hurry up before we pollute the world with primitive oil and fossil fuels.
