We don't think there should be more off shore oil drilling, off Florida's coasts. Here's one reason why, and a recent post on the topic.

I feel badly for the families of the 11 missing workers and the environmental consequences of this accident but the timing could not be better for a thorough review of Obama’s proposal to open more coastal areas to oil and gas drilling. Ditto for the pro-drilling positions of Dean Cannon and Florida Energy Associates. After the investigations are completed, it wouldn’t be surprising to find that safety concerns were on the back-burner to get this field into production mode, especially with the price of crude at $80 per barrel and the $500,000 per day cost for the now destroyed Deepwater Horizon drilling rig.
I watched NBC Nightly News, that had the oil rig disaster as the lead story and later a story on Earth Day. Interesting how the editors chose not to mention Earth Day in the oil rig story. It does sort of jump out at you, doesn't it? But I guess that would not have made the folks at Exxon/Mobil too happy to make the link. Building a better tomorrow!
Let's assemble a cracker jack team of GOP Big Oil folks including Sarah Palin and send them down in a submarine to plug that hole 5000 feet down. Yeah, baby! Drill, baby, drill! Oh it's Louisiana waters. Not Florida. My bad.

We had a bunch of pro-drilling folks on the earlier post. Hmm. I wonder where they went?
