Drilling in the "Pristine" Arctic Wilderness should have begun long ago. The same is true of the drilling in the Gulf and off the coast of California.

I keep reading this over and over and over again. Screw that place. Start exploring and drilling like crazy off the shores of Florida, the South and of course California. That is where it's at. And tell all those who object to go stuff it.

Just my thoughts.

Up here in Canada, we went for it in off the shoreline in Newfoundland in the 1990s. The province now has two oil fields and the province is turning a corner. The province is trying for a third, heavy oil field, but negoiations are still going on since Newfoundland wants a better royality.

I happen to know for a fact that there's plenty of oil to be had in Southern Bama. There are large pools just north of Mobile. It's high grade "sweet" crude (I think). The problem is that it's too expensive to get the stuff out of the ground at the moment.
