Sure, I said I was going to research it, thanks for the help. Again, in retrospect, baaaaddd idea. Another reason we need to get off the oil teat.
100% agreement.
I just think if you look back at all the opportunities to enact tougher legislation, it's just too politically convenient for people to dump this one on Cheney. (Even the reps love doing this if they can)
What was Obama's comment not long ago about gulf drilling?
More of it and close to shore too.
You did look at the voting record right? Come on...you can do it....

I did. Again, baaaad idea, gulf oil drilling can never be 100% safe, but the effects of a leak are devastating to not just the environment, but several industries as well.
I didn't like the idea when Bush & co., suggested it, and I didn't like it when Obama suggested it.
every thing we use now is made of a petrolium product
your computer is 90% plastic
even the Toyota Prius.....95% plastic
the roads we drive on....asphualt...a petrioum product
Granted, but it's power comes from the fact it is used as fuel. Can you honestly say that the same amount of crude is used in manufacturing the above and refining it for fuel, and using it for electricity?

That is just not going to happen.
Google how many products are made from petroleum and find out that we can't do without it. I could name 6,000 or more, but we can start here. This is a small list, but look at each item and see how many lives would be touched if they didn't have these items.
Footballs
Football helmets
Basketballs
Tennis Rackets
Perfumes
Golf bags
Ink
Upholstery
Transparent Tape
Surf Boards
Life Jackets
Artificial limbs
Safety Glasses
Eye Glasses
Crayons
Luggage
Combs
Heart Valves
Dentures
Fan belts
Oil Filters
CD and DVD's
Guitar Strings
Toothbrushes
Paint Rollers
Dice
Water Pipes
Parachutes
etc, etc.
We are not going to be able to stop oil production any time soon. We need to come up with better solutions for clean up. Making mistakes helps us to resolve some of these issues.
I don't know why people freak out when accidents or mistakes are made. It's how we learn to do better.
What did Thomas Edison say about the light bulb, "I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."

I understand the scope of items made by petroleum, but amount for the use for fuel eclipses anything used for manufacturing. When I mentioned getting off the oil teat, I meant fuel oil.
I truly believe that the amount of destruction this one man has brought down on the U.S. and the rest of the world will be coming to light for decades to come.....and much of it may never be known. This is an evil man.
Barack Obama- I agree
