What that says to me, is that it's past time to start drilling off the coast of FL.

Yes, it says the same to me.

Not to mention drilling in California. Why should the largest gas consuming state get to set the agenda? I lived there for years. People commute 1 or 2 hrs each way, 5 days a week. Then they get in a tizzy if some pol even hints at oil/gas exploration, new power plant (especially nuclear), or a new refinery. I used to say to them: "What, it's OK to pollute Tulsa?".

In my book, "importer" states like Fla and Cal should pay a hefty premium per gallon, cubic foot, etc. The funds would go to REDUCE THE ENERGY/GAS BILLS of those in "exporter" states.

Fine with me if they want their pristine ocean views. But I'd like to find out how much they're willing to pay for it.
