It may be that some legislators are attempting to gain a little leverage against the Bush proposal to allow offshore drilling. Offshore drilling would do very little to change the economics of our current energy emergency which is forcing USA oil companies to pay upwards of $135.00 per barrel for oil. All USA offshore drilling would do is stink up our delicate ocean Eco systems, ruin the scenery, give the American people false hope that oil prices will come down, (eg enough that some might vote Republican in the 2008 elections), and delay time and money that could better be spent on starting with a sane energy policy built around the idea that alternatives to Petrol energy must be developed, so the USA can become energy independent.
I think the American people, might now finally realize that now is the time to began a USA switch in energy policy; after, the American people have paid exorbitant prices and held hostage to the whims of foreign oil producing countries. LOL I think the energy industry in the USA should remain based on a free unregulated economy that set prices base on supply and demand, and competition that encourage the best value for the dollar to the American consumer, even though most energy utility companies are regulated, and I can imagine our legislature changing that even if God himself was the elected president.
