erps,
If you do want the oil companies leasing the fields how do you intend to do it. I agree with Cam, the oil is a public resource that the public should be allowed to use. What the Dems did yesterday is a perfect example of why we are in the mess we are in. It's time to start doing something, even if it's not the total solution.

The estimates are from USCG, DOI, and independent assesments. Incidentally, I am using a PRO-DRILL site... not the others.
