offshore oil drilling is the hot topic at the moment it seems. are you in support of it or are you against it? why or why not? is offshore drilling the answer to our energy crisis?
i'm not really in favor of lifting the ban on it because i don't think it's the answer. i don't think it's going to help that much. i think we need to move away from not only foreign oil dependency, but oil dependency in general. i know a ton of people are in support of it, but i really only think they are because they somehow believe that this going to make their gas cheaper. i don't think this will significantly decrease gas prices. |

As stated by some earlier, I don't think that it is the answer. I feel as though more money needs to be invested into finding fuel alternatives. It is ridiculous, that foreign countries continue to hold us by our balls, because we depend so much on them for oil.
