The deep drilling may be the result of keeping the ugly oil rigs out of site, but gulf oil is such a small percentage of global supply, why would you ruin an entire coast for millions of people just so oil companies can make money? Gulf oil has ZERO impact on oil or gas prices. Look at the spill right now, millions of barrels spewing out and oil prices have actually gone down.
Gulf drilling only benefits the oil companies, it has no benefits for Americans.
But still, I am sure off shore drilling CAN be done safely, it's just that the oil companies have not bothered to put any money into it and government has not pressured them to do so. That's the real issue that has come to light here.
