I live on Texas Gulf Coast and have NO problem with drilling rigs = they have never bothered me. Most of the oil on the sandy beaches here is from natural seepage. I would rather see drilling rigs, than do without cars, air conditioning, indoor plumbing, jobs, medicines, food. So many products come from petro chems. Plastics, foam rubbers, medicines, etc. Imagine a world without computers and cell phones, which are made of a lot of plastic! And for the PETA crowd, if you don't want your shoes made of leather, the alternative is plastics!

Don't forget paint, carpeting, synthetic tile, cultured marble, vinyl flooring, and even the thread that holds your clothes together.
