Do you really think that drilling off of Florida will help you oil consumer? A few things keep being pretended in the current oil conversation. First, it seems to be glossed over that the oil won't go directly to the American people. The oil will go to the oil companies. The same oil companies who make record profits during a time of crisis and are given subsidies to do more drilling. Subsidies!!! We subsidize companies so that they can the take more of our money. What the F?
Second, large drilling operations are not economically feasible. Companies might pretend that they are because they might be able to squeeze a little out for now, but mainly because they desire to preserve this system for as long as they can run it.
Lastly, this is all the equivalent of a 12 year-old boy thinking, "If I just lay here and masturbate for 5 minutes then that is time that I won't have to get up and go to school." It doesn't change anything. We are going to have to deal with oil shortages. No one wants to cut back on consumption. No one wants to think about the population. No one wants to think about the fundamental nature of our societies so they reason something easy; just drill more then shoot all of the pollution into space. It don't make no kind of sense.
