President George W. Bush urged Congress to overturn a 26-year ban on offshore oil drilling in the U.S. (West Florida – Gulf of Mexico) to petroleum exploration and explained that these moves would "take pressure off gas prices over time by expanding the amount of American-made oil and gasoline." John McCain made a similar appeal [...]
Why don’t we turn to the good ole oilfield to get us out of this mess? It sure as hell won’t be green jobs anytime soon so why don’t we start getting our own oil/gas out of the ground in the USA and stop relying on foreign oil? The overseas industry is thinking about taking [...]

Honestly! Now I finally understand why popular mechanics and all the other media, tv, magazines, newspapers have not been doing photos and stories on how (generic) oil companies will plug or stop gas and oil spill accidents. In shallow water and deep water. Disappointing. And how many of you think Bp Gulf of Mexico operation [...]

Since the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded on April 20, the Obama administration has granted oil and gas companies at least 27 exemptions from doing in-depth environmental studies of oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico. The waivers were granted despite President Barack Obama’s vow that his administration would launch a “relentless [...]
It’s kind of ironic that now that Obama is allowing off shore drilling, and then month later there is an oil spill near one of the regions, The Gulf of Mexico.

What is the liberal answer? Mrs. BJ Clinton wants to tax the oil companies more. Won’t that just cause them to move to another country? Who is stopping us from drilling oil wells in the gulf of mexico or ANWAR in alaska, or building gasoline refineries, or using nuclear power?

Barrel of oil prices are falling sharp. Do you think this might link to fact that the US might start drilling for oil off shore in other areas beside the Gulf Of Mexico?
