Well, here's your chance. Offshore drilling is subject to lease fees, taxes and royalties averaging 40%. That would go a long way toward the huge debt we just inherited. It would also create many jobs. But, perhaps the Atlantic States and Pacific states (except for Southern California - no fools there) don't want that money and those jobs. Well, I guess they can keep importing oil for there refineries in tankers which are far more likely to spill than platforms and their pipelines. You should know that they bring no tax revenues, no lease fees, no royalties and no jobs. Well I heard once that the greenzillas want to tax oil companies. Well, here's your chance.
