Improve the technology first. 7 years ago from a Democrat in Philadelphia, PA

No, end all offshore drilling. I think solar power, electricity, and wind power is much safer, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly. 7 years ago from a Democrat in Little Rock, AR

Yes, where environmentally safe and appropriate. 7 years ago from a Republican in Paris, TN

Yes. We have enough energy to self sustain ourselves. I have twenty bucks. Why do I need to borrow ten bucks from some Slim Shady who's gonna charge me fifteen cents on the dollar?. 7 years ago from a Republican in Nashville, TN

Yes, but only if the watchdog services will actually do their jobs to keep our waters and coasts safe. Oil should be phasing out by now. 7 years ago from a Democrat in Indianapolis, IN

Yes, but only if the standards required for off-shore drilling are set and maintained far better than allowing oil companies to lie in environmental impact reports (especially about their ability to contain a spill and provide for recovery). 7 years ago from a Green in Bloomington, CA
