well, seems since Pres Bush (wth 80% of Americans behind him, who are in favor) said we're going to drill offshore, oil is down @$15.00 a barrel since yesterday Im thinking all those speculators and rag-heads are starting to get a little worried now

You are being naive and thinking in terms of improrted oil becuase that is where most of our oil comes from right now if we start drilling for our own crude oil we don't have to import as much and then the supply of oil increases this doesn't make the demand go down any but when supply increases to meet demand the price of a barrel goes down if the price of a barrel goes down the price at the pump will follow........ Take an economics course because you obviously don't know how the world works.

The price of a gallon of gas in say Saudi Arabi is under 1 dollar thats beacuse the oil comes from there and from then on they can charge anyone else whatever they feel like becuase people need gas. A common myth is that the middle east has more oil reserves than we do. But the truth is we have at least twice as mush as they do and it won't be that expensive to get to we just have to get around the tree huggers and those that want the gas prices to go up *cough cough Al Gore* now if the oil came from American companys yes we would still probably never see the underside of $2.00 because we are used to it being higher but it will go down.

You can say I'm wrong B-rett but you better back up you statment or you just sound stupid you to bakos.

I'm not sure if Cali has the ability to say no to offshore drilling, but I hope we do. I'm not a tree hugger, but the last thing I want to do is go to the beach in southern california and see massive oil rigs drilling. If Bush is going to ruin the beauty of the California coastline I say why stop there and build oil drilling faclities right off the shores of Hawaii. It's the same thing in my book.

With that said, I know there will have to be sacrafices made to stop our dependency on middle east oil, but not in my backyard. ha ha ha.

I see what your saying but most of the oil that we have is in Anwar up in Alaska and the place that they are talking about drilling there is a barren wasteland the oil shale in the rocky mountains is the other place we have a lot so I don't see a reason for them to put anything in Calf If that is one of the proposed sites I wasn't aware of it.

Yeah, I'm not sure if they are still kicking around the idea or not since our Governor and Legislature and Caifornia Congressional Reps have all said NO WAY BUSHY. I do know that back in the late 1960's they were drilling off the coast by Santa Barbara and something happened where there was an oil spil and it created an 800 square mile slick and destroyed about 35 miles of California coastline.

I think our state also believes that "drilling domestically will not relieve the high gas prices because the prices are governed by worldwide supply and demand, not domestic supply." Don't know enough about it to form an opinion on the above statement.

Our country has already built an economy that is centralized around the use of petroleum. Without it we will (and are already beginning to) fall to pieces. Normally I'm not for the use of a short term fix like this to solve such a massive problem, but we need to buy time until we can find an alternative, hopefully renewable, source of energy. I'm not a tree hugger by any means, but I would love to see Alaska remain untapped. It's a beautiful place. But I'd much rather see some pipelines and refinerys up there than continue into a recession.

an oil drilling station and and a refinery would make this place look better

like most Kalifornians, tree-fuckers and liberals you dont & wont look at the whole picture......1st off, most of these oil rigs would be so-far offshore, you won't even sea them....and if Kaliforinans still want to think like this, well the other 49 states that make sense will just tax the shit outta' you all for noncompliance

Well no need to make this personal or start with the attacks. I believe Cali will lead the nation in creating alternative energy and I don't think our State has any interest in making oil companies any richer by destroying our coastline. At some piont the oil will dry up, so what are we going to do then? Why not start finding other energy sources?

I go ride my polluting, soil destroying dirt bike about 3 times a weeks so I'm not some liberal tree-fucker....I'm just saying I don't see anything wrong with trying to find other energy sources and the current administration doesn't have much interest in that.

Here is a picture of an oil drilling platform off the coast of Santa Barbara. I have seen these with my own eyes several times and they are hideous. I believe they stopped drilling in the late 1960's, but the platforms are still there.

sorry dude but I call it like I sea it and the west coast has a big problem wth eco-terrorist, tree-fuckers and liberals trying to dick-tate poliicies to the rest of us sensible humans and it burns my ass.......you talk about riding your dirt bike in the desert or whatever, which is destroying all kinds of wildlife but you can't stand to sea an oil rig out to seatypical liberal in action, reaction
and those old oil rigs make for a GREAT wildlife habitat for fish, birds and other marine mamals but the leftes liberals that walk around wth binders on just cant sea that, go roll another one dude
and if you dont like all those old oil rigs off your coast, send 'em over here, we'ed love to add them to our artifical reef programs here in the Mid-Altantic states

Well, if they proposed to use the existing oil rigs then here is your answer.

Looks Good tome I'd be out there in my big 53' sportfishing boat trolling all around those oil rigs for Marlin, Tuna, Dolphin and Wahoo and buring up gas thats only $1.00 a gallon or less because of these offshore oil platforms inside the US territorial waters and making money for all, but if you liberals have your way, fuel would be as much as gold (@$997.00 troy oz now), my big boat would be dry docked and we would all be ridding bikes and smokin' sensimilla...
