I am livid about the FL/CA "no" drilling off our coast. As far as I am concerned they deserve the high prices since they want TX/LA/OK to have all the wells along with the Gulf of Mexico as long as it is not off the FL coast in south Florida.
I live in the heart of oil/gas country here in Oklahoma (our pump prices did not go up today but I paid a penny less) and personally think those pumping wells are awesome because they keep prices lower and less dependent on foreign oil.
