Roughnecking on the high seas!

President Bush has called for increased drilling in our fine country. The White House issues this press release, http://www.gomr.mms.gov/homepg/whoismms/whatsocs.html . The OCS , Outer Continental Shelf, are the seas and submerged lands around our country. What all this boils down to is drilling for more oil off the shores of our country.

As the hike in oil prices is driving prices higher all around us, we need to be clear and wise about he choices we make. I firmly say "No to increased off shore drilling" and yes to technology, regulations and ingenuity. Technology to make this stronger and more efficient. Regulations to force industries to clean up and improve things. Ingenuity to solve issues in ways that no one has thought of yet.

Move closer to work so that you can walk or bike to work. Shop locally! Recycle, Reduce, Reuse.
