Should the US permit much more offshore drilling to increase our domestic supply of oil?

US drivers are irate that the price of gas is rising so high.





Testifying before congress, Robert Malone, chairman of BP America, said that 85 percent of the country's coastal waters are off limits to drilling.

The oil companies are making money without those areas being drilled. Can you imagine how much more many they'll make when they do decide to drill on those restricted areas? The problem is that we need to stop giving these companies tax breaks. With the record profits they're making they can pass some of it to the consumers.Should the US permit much more offshore drilling to increase our domestic supply of oil?
You need to legalize POT, PeeWee. Your playhouse needs not only ethanol and methanol, but oils and 25,000 market-leading products, without any more strain from the oil geeks or from Mayor Newsom of SF, whose family manages the Getty Trust, but his city sells tons of medical hemp, without any admission, from any media, that hemp is how to make the energy products we have needed, ever since gasoline was a mere $1 per gallon!!





But Noooooo! Stupid is, as stupid does. PG%26amp;E went nuclear and geothermal in the 1970s, and so went bankrupt. Piggie had to sell its infrastructure, all the wires and generators, etc., long ago. But it has a nuclear plant, as does SoCalEd. When those were due for a refurbishing, Governor Davis announced 20 year power deals would be tendered, in 2001.





Naturally, these are eating us up AND these costs pass around and capitalize, in the cost of any transaction, incuding any marketing or manufacture.
