Offshore drilling is the stupidest solution to gas prices ever. you know the Alaska Oil Reserve? enough oil for like 4 months, and it takes over 5 years to get access to it all.

Lets work for solutions that don't involve the rape of our planet. Alternate fuels? Green energy? Better fuel effeciency? Yes please.

Psycho4bud, I find your enthusiasm for this subject disturbing. I would hope that you would find the issue as unpallatable as everyone else. Using gas prices to justify somthing so damaging to our planet is disgusting. Preying off desperation is nothing to be proud of, it is the reason scum oil companies are able to get their claws into ecological preserves, and the reason our economy, ecosystem, and entire way of life are being exploited, all to make oil companies more wealthy.

Any candidate that suggests drilling our coasts should be immediatly beaten with a sack of hammers. It is not a solution, and is one hell of a messy band aid.
