Participant[quote=briansd1]The oil gusher kills any argument in favor of the drill-baby-drill movement. That’s why Fox is only given scant coverage to the gusher.
Supporters of drilling have argued that technology now makes it safe to drill in sensitive, untouched natural areas.
The new drilling technology is not working and untested as evidenced by the oil gusher.
Drillers cannot guarantee that disaster won’t occur. And when a disaster does occur it takes months to plug a gushing well. Obviously, the technology is not there.
It’s now up to the public to decide whether they are willing to trust drillers with their own backyards, recreational areas and livelihoods.[/quote]
By this logic we should shut down the airline industry after a plane crash, quit selling cars after Toyota, stop advancing medical technology when a patient dies, and drop out of college when we fail a test.
Accidents happen man. Latest polls still show more than 50% of Americans support offshore drilling. You feel so strongly about this then quit driving your car and go invent an alternative. Until then, close your yap.

Guestwaiting for bottom, I didn’t say stop extracting.
Do you really want to open up sensitive natural areas with the technology so far showcased?
How about a new oil platform off the coast of Santa Barbara? BP might like to buy the lease.
BTW, a moratorium on new drilling in sensitive areas doesn’t mean that anyone is losing. The oil will still be there for extraction in the future when prices increase and technology is better proven.
