Rubbish it does not take more oil than you recover i work in the offshore oil and gas industry (subsea well heads and completions). The last project that i worked on was 6 wells and with only one well producing the entire project was paid off in 3 months then everything produced then on is profit not taking in account any workovers or any other maintenance issues.The project afore mentioned is small some projects can be over 100 wells massive money to be made for a long time yet.And as far as I am aware the offshore drilling industry in the usa is massive (gulf of mexico)in fact one of the deepest water projects has recently been carried out there
Notably, in 2005, a year after the Bush-Cheney Administration de facto deposed the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Baptiste Aristide, a team of geologists from the Institute for Geophysics at the University of Texas began an ambitious and thorough two-phase mapping of all geological data of the Caribbean Basins. The project is due to be completed in 2011. Directed by Dr. Paul Mann, it is called “Caribbean Basins, Tectonics and Hydrocarbons.” It is all about determining as precisely as possible the relation between tectonic plates in the Caribbean and the potential for hydrocarbons—oil and gas. Notably, the sponsors of the multi-million dollar research project under Mann are the world’s largest oil companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, the Anglo-Dutch Shell and BHP Billiton.

Well, that is where the oil is.
There is a lot of oil in the Gulf of Mexico.
We need to go it. Why drag our feet???

If Obama tried to pass a bill to offshore drilling, republican senators would simply fillibuster it.

When the oil is gone we cross that bridge when we get to it.
In the mean time we need gas, heating oil and jobs NOW!
We need to move forward now.

We can work on alternative energy along the way.
Lets do both.

I think the problem is that the oil rigs are not very pretty.
They love the beautiful view of the ocean.

And this is what you folks refuse to understand. Any oil reserves or whats left here is a joke, I mean really now.
Considering that half the wars over the decades have involved resources and oil, one would recognize that part of the issue facing our country today is this addiction, dependence to one fuel source.
I mean why can you not understand this?
