Meanwhile, the coasts off La. and Tx. are poisoned for the next generation.
There are stricts rules now for offshore platforms.
There is zero discharge now. Most of the pollution in your neck of the woods is from the existing chemical plants and refineries.
New plants...new rules to play by. The problem with Florida is that we want to take and take from our neighbors oil and gas supply, but we don't want to build any refining capacity or sweetening plants or even any new pipelines.
The leftists are going to put the lights out here. They won't be happy until we are all living in tents, eating grass, and sodomizing each other.
Tough to argue that Florida's waters are "pristine". Maybe down South. I was "deeply saddened" when I took my son for a walk early Saturday morning around 6:30AM on the beach in Boca Raton. So much crap/non-biodegradable material had washed up on the shore that it looked like someone dump a garbage can every 50 feet.
As far as oil platforms, I doubt you have much more impact than you do already with the occasional tanker getting washed up on shore. Now those things are impressive...And the offshore platforms are most likely far cleaner these days. The only thing they really need to do is make them so that they can shut them down and cap them on demand when a hurricane is approaching.
Local oil and gas. I'm in favor of both, screw the ME and the Latino Socialists..
What are talking about? Can you show any data?
If they are, as you say, poisoned, they absolutely are not being poisoned by oil drilling operations but more likely from weather effects, swill, farm runoff, and other land based industrial waste.
Do you eat crawdad or shrimp from the Gulf? If your original statement were true, why would you do that?
