Like I said before, I'm not against drilling. It would just be nice if we can do it with as minimal damage as possible.

I agree. All the oil in the earth that can be practically removed will be removed at some time and in some way. Proponents of drilling say that modern drilling techniques are far superior to those of even 10 years ago. Great. Think how much better they will be in another 10 years. Let's wait until then.

I have a similar attitude. I'm a bit baffled why this is such a dogmatic issue for the GOP.

I would also like to see more emphasis on alternative fuel sources.
