Offshore Oil Drilling

[kat8585]

Isn't it also true that we'd be better served by using our petroleum (domestic oil) for non-energy producing products instead of gas and work harder on alternative fuels? In IOWs, shouldn't we stop trying to use oil for gas thereby releaving the pressure on oil companies to drill in areas that we'd rather see left as God intended? The way He created it. Wouldn't that be smarter than to keep on trying to drill drill drill?

Not with gas approaching $5 a gallon, and no end in sight to it rising higher. Unless you just like paying that much, and can afford it. No one I know can. We have technology now where we can drill without harming the environment, so there is no more excuse not to.

Drill now, pay less.

I say drill right through the baby polar bears heads that are prancing around the pristine arctic if it means cheaper gasoline and a stronger America.

OK, at least we finally got the truth out about china drilling for oil 60 miles off the Florida coast.

It's Old News At Worthy

And In The Press http://www.americanfreepress.net/html/chin...l_drilling.html

The Point Is Calling The Almost Endless Fuel God Has Put Into The Earth For Us To Use A Bad Thing May Lead To The Use Of The Children's Food As Gas.

Even To The Taxing Of The Neighbors For Daring To Breath Out Carbon (CO2 The Breath Of Life To Growing Salads!).

All The While Wild Fires Are Dumping The Next Ten Years Worth Of Carbon Into The Air Just Because The Same Folk Would Not Let The Trees Be Used For Homes For The Kids.

Silly Butt-In-skys Forgot To Give Their Neighbors Respect.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Philippians 2:3

Or Perhaps They Just Wanted To Punish Their Elders For Giving Then Everything They Now Have

The rest of your post is sad. So you'd rather destroy Gods creatures and His creation for your own selfish comforts and pleasures? Do you think that this is how Jesus would handle the situation or do you think Jesus would look for alternative ways to satisfy our NEEDS?

God provided resources...if we can drill for those resources in a responsible way then yes...we need to drill.

I'm tired of hearing people that are more concerned with God's wild creatures/trees earth etc...than they are about God's creations, its more reprehensible to hurt an animal than a baby now days....

I'm all for wildlife preservation by the way...RESPONSIBLE, AND SMART PRESERVATION....

very telling.

If we were to start drilling TODAY, there would be no effect on gas prices since it takes about 10 years to get oil to market from an X marks the spot drilling situation. X marks the spot meaning there is no hole yet and no survey. You don't just throw a drill bit on a pole and start drilling, you have to explore the are you want to drill in to find the most likely spot and then start testing. So, starting TODAY, drilling in ANWR or off the coast will do nothing for another 10 years.

Also, who told you that we have technology that will allow us to drill for oil without harming the environment? It's not true. We have BETTER technology to help MINIMIZE the harm but there is NO technology that functions as you elude to. Besides, most of the environmental harm happens during transport of the oil and not during the drilling.

At least we got the truth out about that one now too.

Nice bumper sticker, do they pass those out at Fox News?

Grace to you,

No, actually Newt Gingrich is handing them out.

Do you know anyone that works at Fox News? You remind of someone I once knew who worked there.

Clinton used the same argument that it would take 10 years to get oil to market over 10 years ago, which is why we are where we are today. That is short sighted thinking, and I would be happy for some relief, even if it comes 10 years from now. Had Clinton allowed drilling, we would have cheaper gas today.

My solution is that we drill everywhere in America oil can be found. At the same time, we can be adding wind, solar, and nuclear power plants into the mix. I am not limiting us to a single solution. I think we should be using every known tool at our disposal, including coal to fuel technology. My problem is with people like Obama who refuse to address the need for oil, which is real, and will not go away anytime soon. I am not satisfied with his answer that his main concern is that prices went up too fast. They should never have been allowed to get to this point, but in reality, that is what liberals want. They don't care one whit about the middle class, and their policies are harming working people. High fuel prices are driving up the cost of every product you see because of the increased price to ship things. We need to drill every place in America where oil can be found, and we need to get rid of the regulations keeping us from building new refineries. To heck with environmentalists and their scare tactics. People are hurting today, and I say drill now, and we will deal with any other consequences later. I expect negative effects will be minimal. They will be far less harmful than the effects of high gas prices on our economy.

Them's nice talking points.

The thing is though that we can't wait any longer just doing nothing. We need Leadership. It's funny how drilling now won't have any effect for 10 years but doing nothing ever gets us anywhere.

The cold hard reality is that these resources are here for our use and right now getting off of oil just isn't feasible or possible. So we might as well exploit our resources just like everyone else in the world is doing. Meanhwile Gods focus is never on the resources or their use, neither the Creation. It is on Loving ones neighbor as ones self and Saving souls from damnation, period.

The Green Gospel is a lie straight from hell.

I believe Jesus would look at the harm being done to human beings above the supposed harm being done to the environment. He gave us these resources to use, not to remain in the ground because people are too stupid to go and get them.

You really think it's ok for us to keep paying higher qnd higher gas AND FOOD prices because liberals don't want to drill and want prices high?????? Even tho it's forcing some people to choose between food and gas? Can you honestly say you think this is ok??

"If we were to start drilling TODAY, there would be no effect on gas prices since it takes about 10 years to get oil to market from an X marks the spot drilling situation."

"Then we'd better get started", to quote liberal congressman Neil Abercrombie of Hawaii, the only Dem I know of with any sense about this. Don't forget, that same excuse has been used before, when Bill Clinton vetoed drilling. If we'd started then, we'd have much cheaper gas now.
