It will never happen at $36 a barrel.
The Canadians appear to be smarter than we are.
My fondest hope would be that a gigantic Canadian oil spill befouls the gay beach that the author frequents.
...eager to have their way with those last, tasty little morsels of land and ocean.
Some "last tasty morsel," that 90% of the American coast.
Save yourselves Cape Codders, quick put up windmills to supply Nova Scotia with green power.
This is a really disgusting article.
First of all, the people of Nova Scotia are much like what New Englanders used to be in the olden days. It borders on xenophobia to try to picture them as “coyotes” ready to pounce on poor lambs.
Second, oil-drilling by modern offshore methods is probably one of the safest, cleanest ways to get energy. Marine life love to settle around the platforms, as any fishermen in the Gulf of México will tell you. The rigs on George’s Bank may be floating ones, anyway.
New England promotes bans prohibiting even exploring for oil on George’s Bank. New England politicians are against nuclear power, against drilling in ANWAR, and the Kennedys are even against offshore windmills. They are against all practical energy sources but they always sponsor legislation to subsidize energy cost for their “poor.” The New England liberals are the biggest hypocrites to be found on the planet.
And, I'll bet the view that Fat Ted and John Kerry treasured so much when fighting against the windmills will take on a whole new meaning when there are oil tankers out in the harbor.
And, the smell... rofl... so happy I sold out of Cape Cod Summer 2007...
No one in Cape Cod should be allowed to burn any petroleum product.
There are oil and gas wells all over the Texas and La. Gulf Coast and they have only improved the fishing by providing habitat for the fish. The wells are where they congregate.
We access our situation, we couldn't recover the hatch, having already made a temporary repair, and decide to turn back to Portland, Maine.
Long story short, our sailing trip was postponed to the following June of 2001. This trip was a successful crossing ... two weeks to the Azores ... then on into Gibraltar.
Someone needs to take the crayons away from little timmy, he thinks he’s a journalist again.
If they do manage to drill on Georges Bank, I hope they don’t find a drop of oil and go broke drilling for it.
Ye flippin' gods! The lack of knowledge of the "press-titute" class is astounding. "Massive oil and gas rigs" have been working full out "with delicate ecosystems supporting multiple marine species" in the Gulf of Mexico for more close on to 75 years, and the "multiple marine species" LOVE the rigs. They set up shop right in the rig structures, proceed to "do their thing" and multiply. Most of the best fishing is to be found near "massive oil and gas rigs".
I doubt that the "multiple marine species" around Cape Cod will like the oil and gas rigs any less than those in the Gulf of Mexico.
For the oppressed socialists of Massachusetts the only sane solution to this atrocity is mass suicides! Anything less would be tacit approval and passive participation in genocide!
We drill, you get the oil... same deal as in Alberta!
Thanks for posting this article.
And for a break in your reading entertainment....
