Yes indeed and I should have made the point in my reply -- COMMERCE; or more accurately the billion($) in revenues generated from "leases" etc in INTERNATIONAL waters. Not to mention the "authority" to select winners and losers by picking who can and can't drill in those INTERNATIONAL waters. The BP blowout was, what, fifty miles offshore? And just what happened to those billions in fines levied on BP? Last I heard our territorial waters are still just twelve miles offshore since the senate has never ratified LOST; to their credit BTW. Is that weird or is it just me?
