drill, baby, drill!

i see your point, holden, but the way i see it is that offshore drilling near populated areas (florida, virginia, california, are some of the proposed locations) both would not provide enough oil for about 25 years, simply because the oil wells would have to be built, and then after that, imagine what an oil spill 50 miles offshore could do to the economy in florida— we're talking about a major shutdown of one of the biggest state economies in the US. the risk is too much and it would take too long to set up— offshore drilling is no more of a quick solution than investigating alternative energy sources.
