5. So are you saying that you would rather have
Edited on Sat Aug-19-06 04:35 PM by outofbounds
a country that hasn't had a lot of experience drilling for oil 25 miles off the US coast? That is what concerns me the most. Face it people are going to use fossil fuels until they are gone. My problem is I don't want some country that couldn't care less about our coast spilling oil 25 miles off shore so they can sell the rest of back to the US.

I heard on the radio Thursday that a man, in Florida, built a car that would run on water. Claims to have logged 1100 miles on a gallon or so of water. I expect he will perish along with his technology before big corporation's will allow this to advance into production. In the meantime we are forced to use gasoline.

I have a Chevy Tahoe that I use to pull a boat and lawn mower. Its more like 11 mpg. I use this vehicle about three times a month. My daily transportation is a Geo Storm it gets far better gas mileage but if I get into a wreck I'll probably die. I'm 6'2 290lbs so i should charge people to watch me get in and out of this miserly little beer can with wheels but hey, I try to do my part.

on edit, I'm not trying to aggrevate you or hurt your feelings. I'm not one of those people. I just feel strongly about this issue. We can get the oil from under our ground, our waters. Or we can watch some one else get it and sell it right back to us. Meanwhile praying that they don't rape our coastline and kill our marine life.
