In 1990 President George H.W. Bush passed an executive order banning all offshore drilling in U.S. coastal waters. In response to rising gas prices in 2008 President George W. Bush lifted the ban. Currently, there are 3,500 offshore oil rigs, 79 of which are deep water wells.

I’m uneducated on this issue
@7T7W2FD2yrs2Y
Yes, while remaining as environmentally conscious and safe as possible.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No, and end all plans to expand offshore oil drilling, but maintain our current offshore oil wells, for now.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No, end the expansion of all offshore oil drilling, but maintain our current offshore oil wells, for now.
@8ZSR5NL2yrs2Y
No, oil drilling should be limited and slowly eliminated, due to the serious environmental issues and due to this behavior. Renewable energy sources (i.e. wind, solar, geothermal, hydropower) should be promoted over coal, oil, and natural gas.
@4KL4PZC2yrs2Y
Yes but get rid of all Energy subsidies.

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill. Also, we should invest in better energy sources, and environmental regulations should be applied as well.
@8Y2SW4M2yrs2Y
It should be up to the company that owns the pipeline and the state its drilling in.

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill. Also, we should invest in better energy sources such as nuclear and renewable energy, and environmental regulations should be applied as well.

No, offshore drilling hurt the Gulf of Mexico - to this day the ecosystems not back to normal.

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill. Also, we need to find better energy sources.

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill; they should also drill responsibly to ensure there's no harm to the environment. Also, we need to find better energy sources.
@74KNZRV3yrs3Y
Yes, until alternative energy sources are cheaper and more efficient than fossil fuels
Deleted3yrs3Y
Incentivize the private sector to develop alternative forms of energy
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, but seek new sources of energy and moderately regulate the energy sector
Deleted3yrs3Y
No, because it has a poor effect on Native Americans and Black Americans in urban areas and reservations.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Only if done with better oversight to protect the environment.
@OofPoof6813yrs3Y
Decrease the number of offshore oil rigs
Deleted3yrs3Y
Keep drilling for the economy but with better oversight.
@8STJ2TC3yrs3Y
Yes, but only to prevent the oil from being used, which could potentially screw the environent past saving.
@8SJL5BT3yrs3Y
only if we have a safe place to drill and dont hurt animals
@8RXJ8733yrs3Y
No, but maintain current offshore oil wells and also provide more incentives for alternative energy production.
Deleted3yrs3Y
Keep drilling for the economy but look for better alternatives.
@8RMPM7B3yrs3Y
Yes, but they should be more careful about where we put the drills
@8RJ7L483yrs3Y
No, end all offshore and onshore oil drilling
@7YJZJKK3yrs3Y

We should be developing nuclear power.
@8QFGSH63yrs3Y
even with the pros, there are still negatives on the environment
@8QFCFP73yrs3Y
No, end all off shore drilling and provide more environmentally friendly options
@8Q9VQGF3yrs3Y
Yes, it's a better alternative than blowing up the Middle East
@8Q8RMZF3yrs3Y
NO!!!! It is extremely bad for our environment.... it releases toxic pollution into the air and water causing not just harm to the sea-animals, but us as humans to!
