So, a recent campaign speech from McCain called off-shore drilling as our solution for oil independence from the middle east. You have to be kidding me; this can't be our solution. While I am now a supporter of Obama for president (I was a Clinton booster); I do think McCain has done a great job for Arizona. He was and is a good senator; but his energy solution for the country is horrible. In a speech recently he spoke a line that scares me to the core: "Drill baby Drill".
All it takes to see the failure of this solution is to use common-sense. How much does humanity currently depend on the ocean? Now why in the world would want to dump oil into the ocean?
The discovery for oil requires a 'lot' of test-drilling; and during this test-drilling thousands to millions of gallons of oil could be released before the proper facilities are put in place to harness this oil.
Consider the public outrage that occurred during the Exxon oil-spill not to long ago, this is *nothing* compared to the damage we will be doing should be start doing off-shore drilling. Its all about common sense people.
