The massive drilling rig accident in the Gulf of Mexico a couple of weeks ago has shaken the oil industry and emboldened anti-oil, anti-everything forces that now offshore drilling can be stopped.
It can't, and it won't.
From the time the first coal mine was dug, we have had coal mine accidents. We have had nuclear power plant accidents, we recently had a gas generating plant accident in the northeast.
Accidents will happen. They happen while we explore space. They happen in military units who stand prepared to protect our country. Accidents, just happen.
It is heartening to see this Fox Poll which shows that 60% of Americans still favor offshore drilling. While this current accident is still fresh news!
Well, so do I! And I live on the Mississippi coast and potentially could be affected by the spill. But we need energy independence for all America and we can achieve it if we press on and learn from any mistakes we make along the way.
