A question - have you actually voiced your concern to a senator in FL? I did, he had a good reason for not supporting the drilling. I can't remember who it was, he was a public spokesman for not drilling off the coast. Anyway, it might be something to consider.

Also, even if we were to drill here in the US, guess how much oil would cost? The SAME. It's sold on the market as a commodity. The US actually is an EXPORTER of oil even today.
