Oh well, why should we even worry about the environment when there is money to be made. Drill baby drill.
The gulf situation is terrible...but that is just silly...try going one day without your life being influenced by the oil industry...and here's a hint...despite the wacky enviromentalist...you wouldn't want to...
Actually I AM and environmentalist, although lack of concern for the environment in the current PB fiasco leads me to believe that we are not the wacky ones. The drill baby drill bunch who think the oil industry is better served being self-regulating kinda take that title along with all those republicans (not capitalized for a reason) that want to apologize to BP for making them hurt over this matter surely are the most wackey of all.
Really? You completely miss the point...I am in NO way defending BP...the point is THERE ARE REGULATIONS...Government has failed as badly (if not more) than BP...that was the point of highlighting the fact that BP recieved a WAVIER from government.

You are what? Living without the benefits of oil? If you actually believe that you are terribly naive. You have a computer and you are online...you are NOT living without the benefits of the oil industry...

The drill crowd is not for the most part lobbying for NO regulation...they are arguing for the US to become more energy self reliant.
Regardless if you think you are an enviromnetalist, if the ban on all the oil drilling in the gulf stays in effect, if cap 'n tax passes...OIL IS NOT GOING AWAY...it may become wildly expensive, but it is not going to be replaced by anything in the forseeable future...it NOT political it is PHYSICS...
