Drill, Baby, Drill!
The "Deepwater Horizon", an oil rig drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, 50 miles off the coast of Louisiana, exploded on April 20, 2010, and sank two days later.
Will Republicans say, "So what?" Here's what:
"Weather forecasts indicate the spill was likely to stay well away from shore at least through the weekend, but if winds change it could come ashore more rapidly, said Doug Helton of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration's office of response and restoration." [AP]
BP will try to manage the spill, but the risk of serious damage is real. So, when petroleum-crazed Republicans cheer for offshore drilling, I think they should be asked, "Which coastline are you willing to lose?" The residents there might like to know.
