The Three Dems and Our-Shore Drilling
Cassandra posted a wonderful live blog of the debate last night between the three Democrats vying to replace Mike Castle in Congress. Indeed, debate host Alan Loudell did use some of our questions that the DL community offered in the debate and attributed us as the source of those questions.
One of my questions was whether they would support drilling or exploring for oil off the Delaware coast as part of a comprenhensive plan to solve the energy crisis.
Now, let me reveal my bias. I am against drilling off our coast. To me, it is just another boondoggle giveaway to Big Oil, and they have received enough of our hard earned money over the last eight years. Further, oil companies already possess leases to explore and drill for oil over millions of acres across the United States. Yet they aren’t using them, but they want to drill off the coast.
If drilling is the answer, and the only answer, as the GOP says, then why aren’t the oil companies drilling on the land they already have?
