There actually is a pretty big field off of Newfoundland called Hibernia. But drilling offshore America has been disappointing.

If the oil is not drilled and tapped, it seeps into the ocean directly. Just a fact of nature. Reducing the pressure in the dome reduces the leakage.
But reality never affected the cult of enviro-mentals.

IMO if a state has oil on or off shore and they decide not to drill, they should not be allowed to purchase or have access to oil/gasoline or any byproducts from any other state or country.

Never get hurricanes or winter nor'easters on the East Coast.
Look at the Ocean City MD Fishing Pier that was just rebuilt - one night's storm week ago Friday and most of it is gone.

I doubt the envirowhackos have much to worry about for the time being, given the current commodity price environment.
