It is interesting to come back to this page 15 months later, after the big oil rig screw up in Louisiana. Offshore drilling does come at a price. Yes, so does conservation, but you would think that asking someone to conserve is some kind of hate crime or something. It doesn't really take that much effort, or thought to use or consume less. One of my Scottish grandmothers favorite sayings was "Waste Not, Want Not".

In fact, my second wife's children were raised with this kind of arrogant, wasteful, squandering attitude I see here, and it has taken them 10 years to even start having them to come around, so I can imagine how hard it is for adults to change. The stepson never drank a glass empty, or left a plate clean! He would always take more than he needed, and seemed to enjoy throwing whatever was left in the garbage. Please try harder, I'm not trying to make someone (Republican or Democrat) rich, just encourage you save your own money and live a slightly more modest lifestyle. How evil could that be?

Mr Dyck,

I agree 5-15 years and the oil picture is going to be much different and much more expensive,

thats why I'am pro atom power becouse in fifteen years electricity produced by FF will by then be much more expensive than electricity produced by atom power, scary or no.

I'm sure there's more oil out there offshore CA and in Alaska, but not enough to really solve the problem of too much oil consumption for more than 5 or 10 year at best. Don't you think it makes sense to start working on better methods of transportation now? Have a read of these websites - The world is running out of Oil, not just America! http://www.peakoil.net/ http://peakoiltaskforce.net/ http://www.meridian-int-res.com/Projects/Solving_... Small changes made now mean less panic later. . .

Mr. Dyck is obviously not as much of a conservationalist as people here are eluding to.

In his diatribe he states that the oil should be

used to make plastic prducts.Shame on Mr.Dyck for

using plastic ! Doesn't he realize that that is

not " green" in it's practice and that plastic

is the root of all landfill evils. A liberal once

told me this, so it must be true. Remember, Joe,

paper not plastic. But wait, won't that mean less

trees? So with all this in mind, I am left to the

conclusion to DRILL NOW!!!!

Drill now! Let's get the factories moving on building the rigs for drilling. There's a three year wait for rigs right now. Let's put Americans back to work building the deep sea rigs necessary and then drill here so we can be energy independent while we look for future power solutions. Oh and don't forget nuclear power plants, add that to our repetoire and be completely self-sufficient. Choose three nuke plant designs, no more 10 year design, permit and build cycles. Choose a design, cut permitting time to 180 days and build it. More US jobs in all sectors. that's the kind of stimulus we need not smoke and mirrors.

I guess it's ok to have some other countries drill for oil and we pay for it , but don't do it in our yard (unless it's in some parts of the Gulf of Mexico). Energy Independence my butt.

The only reason the government has not put the kibosh on Natural Gas drilling is because the drilling companies were there already and started to use new technology to produce the shale areas.

Please, let's figure out a way to put a stop to all these wacko groups suing to halt any and all energy projects.
