Let's not forget the entire Eastern Gulf of Mexico. Florida wacko/extremist/environmentalists have successfully fought and blocked exploration of both the Western and Eastern coasts of Florida. It is my understanding (I've been in the oil industry for over 20 years) that the reserves in those areas are at least as large as the Western GOM, which are huge.

Not to mention the entire East and West Coasts of CONUS, Alaska, The Rocky Mountains, and Alaska.

Next time you fill up, remember the radical environmentalists; THEY are some of the major culprits.

They have been driving this country to this point deliberately for years. They have us exactly where they want us.

Interestingly, there is an odd constructive interference between the Green ideologues, the Peak Oil / Dieoff Doomers and speculators. All of them help each others' agendas with their effusive and deep, constantly spewing rhetoric.

Yes. It is frustrating to have a Republican governor of Florida (who doesn't have to stand again) and a brand new Republican Senator (with six years before he has to run again), and yet both are united against developing Florida's oil and gas industry which could be a large boon to the state.
