And how about a little drilling of the coasts of California and Florida!
exactly! I used to live in Florida. Most of my friends there, who are otherwise very conservative and pro capitalism were opposed to offshore drilling. I tried to say there is little chance of damage and that the best fishing is around the rigs. The just didn't get it. I asked them if the rigs were over the horizon and out of sight would that matter? Most just thought it was a bad idea. Now, that was about eight years ago, maybe their attitudes have changed. If it is good enough for LA and Texas, it is damn good enough for Florida and elsewhere. It's ridiculous the NIMBY crowd.
