“I don’t think any of the proposals to open more areas for oil drilling off the coast of our country makes a lot of sense, because it will be years before we see any oil from these places,” [Wexler] said.

Then why did you go to college, you dumbass? It would be YEARS before you'd see any benefit. Why do we research cures for diseases? Why do we try to develop alternate energy? It's all YEARS from now. Wexler is a raving lunatic.

Why do we research cures for diseases?

These a$$hats are willing to do stem cell research "for the future".

Just pay your taxes, Wexler, and STFU.

Florida resident, my ass.

And again. The closer we get to drilling off-shore and in Alaska the lower the price of oil from OPEC and friends will get. OPEC don't want competition in the oil market, especially from us. We send billions over there for the oil we need every year, and they don't want this cash cow to die.
