I say put the rigs on the beaches if we have to-—DRILL, BABY DRILL!
For some places that would be fine, but for areas which rely on tourism dollars the NIMBY argument does carry weight.
Especially considering technologies such as slant drilling. There’s absolutely no need to put tourism dollars at risk when you don’t have to.
A friend of mine did volunteer work at her local visitors center and she tells of once getting a call from a tourist asking which beach is closest to the ocean
amen...particularly in Ted Kennedy’s back yard?
Has he died yet?
Interesting that his sil Jackie also died of brain tumor
They can drill in my back yard.
It’s my understanding that the rigs that are now off the Gulf Coast make great fishing holes, besides providing the oil and jobs. To me in Florida I would love to pull in some nice Yellow Fin of our west coast.
