Since it is apparent that our oil industry is too vulnerable, being located in Hurricane Alley, the government needs to launch a new Manhattan Project to develop alternate fuel for our economy. While that is being developed, drilling needs to begin immediately in federal waters on our Atlantic and Pacific coasts. Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi have provided oil for the country for 60 years, and it's time the energy parasites on both coasts either kick in now or do without gasoline for their states. That Houston should have been WITHOUT GAS for its fleeing populace is a national disgrace after all the energy our state has provided for the nation. The people of CA, FL, and the entire eastern seaboard should be riding bicycles before that happens again.
