Agreed. However it goes beyond drilling - we also need to increase refining capacity. The Green Party Envirowacko Wing of the Democrat Party, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid will make sure that doesn't happen:

But it really does no good for diversifying risks if the additional refining capacity is added at the existing gulf coast ports. What's needed is building more refineries in other parts of the country, so less of the total refining capacity is affected by one or two hurricanes.

Agreed. However, as was pointed out in the excerpt I posted in reply 12, no matter where you choose to build it (Illinois in this case), the Democrat Party will oppose it.
