Yup, it’s time to open up our energy industry and let the states decide where and when to drill for oil offshore. Congress has got to stop pandering to environmental extremists on this issue. It’s costing us too many jobs and too much lost domestic oil production. Those little globs of oil about the size of a half dollar that you see on the beach in California. Those aren’t caused by offshore drilling; that oil is just natural seepage of oil from the earth under the sea and occasionally it’s engine oil dumped by ships offshore.

If I may add to your excellent post: We have everything we need in this country to be self sufficient. Enough of this sending money abroad to countries that attack and kill us (Hi Saudi Arabia and China).

Get rid of the RIDICULOUS environmental regulations, and tell the USA haters out there: “F.Y., no more $$$ coming your way!”.
