Reply #15: It's a world ecosystem.

There should be no offshore drilling anywhere. We have such a great start on solar, wind, hydro, etc...that if we would begin our switch to these alternatives, the BIG improvements in this technology will naturally follow. We could end the need for destructive power sources (including nuclear) relatively soon. Obama campaigned on this, but apparently, the oil money was too much. We could employ our nation (living wages) and stop our destructive dependence on foreign oil in an intelligent way. The ruling class know that even if we drilled worldwide for oil, there is still a limited supply. That is not the case with solar, wind, hydro, etc... We have to take our government back and return a voice of reason which will also improve almost every aspect of our lives, worldwide. "They" know this, but it is not as immediately profitable for THEM. FUCK THEM. They are a tiny minority of a minority. Let's return majority (and sane) rule.
