Offshore Drilling Debate - Creston, IA

The entire world runs on oil. There is nothing to replace it with and until there is. It's oil or the dark ages.

It's called ethanol moron...Take a lesson from Brazil. Let the big corporations fool your way of thinking.

Should never been allowed in the first place. We need to invest in renewable energy resources instead of ruining our oceans. I fear the damage has already exceeded it's limit.

I wish we would take a lesson from Brazil.

Brazil has landed on one of the biggest oil finds ever.

The company is called Petrobras.(Biggest share holder is George Soros. I'm sure a Progressive idiot like you knows who he is.)

They are gonna drill baby drill in water twice as deep as the Gulf of Mexico. The country is going to make billions and billions of dollars.

Just think how much money this country could make, if enviromental idiots like you would get out of the way.

You can do your part and use a covered wagon, but I think I'll keep driving my car.

Space Cowboy: I pity you if you really think that life is all about money! We are on this earth to be stewards and to care for each other and this earth. If environmentalists get out of the way, we are doomed to drown ourselves in oil, and all the money in the world cannot repair the damage. I am tired of people like you who want instant gratification (money) and cannot see to the future that we will pass on to the next generations. Do you really think that you can take it with you when you die? My kids are not interested in what money we will leave them when we die, rather, how well did we take care of the environment that they will inhibit. Do you want to leave a barren, oil dependent world or would clean water and air seem a better legacy? You obviously have a very narrow view of life. People much smarter than you will find a way to power all the vehicles with out oil and they will be much more efficient. Open your eyes and get a clue - you will not be the one to make all those billions of dollars you talk about, it will be some corporation and they will stick to you to make those billions. There are other options.
