They consider it to be EXTREMELY damaging to the environment. They want oil to be banished forever. That is what drives their thinking. It also is what is so moronic about thier ideas. As mentioned above, seepage from not using oil is also damaging. The use of the word "extremely" is also an exageration. They seem to omit many of the facts that are inconvenient for thier ideology. You can not change a worldwide infrastructure overnight. If you try, you are in for a world of hurt. The economic damage alone could be devestating. How about all the by-products of oil. Do we abandon them also? Can renewable energy sources replace all the by products like plastic? We are all pretty much in agreement that foreign oil is lining the pockets of our enemies and is a danger but would the danger increase if these oil countries had nothing to sell. What would they do? What would happen to their economies? Wouldn't all economies suffer? I see a bad moon on the rise if that happens. Bottom line is there is no way in heck that oil and all it's related industries, by products, economies, infrastructure, etc can be replaced in the near future. Deal with it! NO WAY! We can , however, more actively look into alternative energy solutions, which will lessen our dependence on oil and its detrimental impact on our environment. Just not at the disasterous cost that Democrat leaders want to impose on us. What foolishness, and these are leaders? They now fear that we will not look at alternatives unless the punishment of not doing so is high. So their plan is to punish us! That way, we will finally move toward their position and they will stand firm until we do. It's all about getting thier way at all cost. Damn the tropedoes, full steam ahead. Thats our leaders. Not a voice of reason among them. Democrats Liberals, which have hijacked the Donkey party, do not want to drill. They consider it to be EXTREMELY damaging to the environment.

Facts don't matter to enviro-nazis, though. I read somewhere that the natural seepage of oil offshore amounts to way more oil into the sea than was leaked due to hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

People are aware and are fighting back already here. Excellent. As you might have deduced from my earlier comments in this thread, I voted for Corker against Harold Ford, Jr. in that Senate race, and his support of this "compromise" has me a little perturbed at him right now. <strong>I.

A significant percentage of these areas are in water depths that...while possible to drill in...are so deep that the costs of drilling are prohibitive. The other red herring that the Left is throwing is to linearly extend the "success rate" of drilling for those areas that are producing oil to ALL areas. They ignore the fact that the seismic surveys have pinpointed the most likely areas for drilling success and pointed out the areas that would most likey come up with a dry hole. They want us to drill without regard to what the surveys indicate...like in the old days of wildcatting. Poke a hole in the ground and either oil flows or it doesn't. They want to ignore the cost of drilling. T-Bone,
