We don’t have the nice white sand they do in Florida (nor the crystal-green waters of the Keys) but we also don’t have tar sands on the beach on Hilton Head Island.

But still, we are willing to start drilling!

Heck, they can put a rig in my backyard if I get the royalties.

Mata,
I, too, recall walking on the beaches in So. Cal. in the 60’s, (I was just a tot) and also discovering tar on my feet! Not very pleasant, to be sure! And yes, I know the beach party movies were overrated besides being an inaccurate portrayal of us locals!!

I forgot about the white sands in Florida…very much different than California, you’re right.

I haven’t heard of it either, SoCal Chris. But when I originally moved to S. Cal myself in the 1980, I remember very well walking on the beaches and having the tar on my feet then. Coming from Florida’s Gulf Coast with gorgeous white sand beaches, I thought all those beach party movies were way overrated. I’ll take Florida beaches any day over California’s.

Mike, how did I know that you’d know about this? I’m quick, I guess!
Sean said he hadn’t heard of it either, so I wasn’t sure if it’d been out in the mainstream. Thank you for the graph, though, that is very telling.

Fit Fit: If you are unclear about McCain’s confusion on the “energy” bill which mandated new light bulbs, I highlighted it in this vid:

SoCal: I missed that on Sean’s show today. Interesting idea. You may recall this chart I posted a while back:

The majority of oil pollution comes from natural seepage.

Mike, today on the Sean Hannity radio show there was a caller from SoCal who said he was a scientist and he related how that in actuality, drilling for oil literally DECREASES the chance for “seepage” of oil on the California coast, which, he said, naturally occurs, but not due to oil drilling. He said years ago, BEFORE oil drilling, if you’d walk on the beaches it was typical to get oil residue on your feet which was caused by this naturally occurring seepage. Have you heard anything to substantiate this?

I also don’t like the idea of sending money to states that sponsors of terrorism. I deliberately made the effort of finding a home and a job that were within a mile of each other… I only need to get gas every other month.

One problem I have with both candidates is their ideas for “carbon caps”. The differences between the two is minimal. Same with immigration reform, only I am for that. No matter who gets elected, those two pieces of legislation will be passed for sure.

I am all for drilling here, but only the very foolish believe will make a impact even when they are able to start producing.

Fit, there is nothing wrong with environmentalism per se. I am all for the protection of habitats, endangered species etc. where there is a reasonable solution.

But not drilling in the US, and not developing shale and oil sand technology, when we in north America sit on the largest oil reserves in the world (including the Persian gulf and Russia) when imported oil costs over $100 per barrel, based on the ideology of religious global warming fanatics is economically criminal.

We are now sending overseas over $600 billion per year for oil. let’s keep that money at home. We have much better uses for it than giving it to Arab shieks who then fund terrorists, of funding Hugo Chavez’s military and political adventures.

Good luck with that.

He wrote some of that environmental legislation.

Fit Fit: Perhaps what Dreadnought is suggesting is that McCain would be less likely to go in for the onoreous regulations and lifestyle changes that Obama/Pelosi and Reid are chomping at the bit to enact if they have the opportunity.

McCain has been misinformed about some of the more radical agenda items masquerading as environmental legislation in the past. As President, it will be up to us to enlighten him.

Dreadnaught,

Do you even know the Republican candidate?
