Drilling off Florida coasts
Sorry I didn't know where else to post this, so please move or remove it if it is inappropriate. I think the issue has a bearing on all of us that regularly use our coast.
The US House Representative for most of us in Pinellas (Rep Bill Young) will once again be voting tomorrow on whether to lift the moratorium on drilling off of Florida's coastline for oil. A subcommittee narrowly upheld the moratorium last week but this week the full committee will vote on it. Rep Young has consistently voted for the moratorium (and against drilling). You can contact him at the following phone # to express your opinion, if interested. If you choose to do so, please do so today as the vote is tomorrow. Rep Bill Young: St Pete: 727 893 3191 Wash DC: 202 225 5961 Bill.Young@mail.house.gov 360 Central Ave Ste 1480 St Pete, FL 33701 Matt O

A friend of mine emailed this to me today:
OPEC sells oil for $128.00 a barrel. OPEC nations buy U.S. grain at $7.00 a bushel. Solution: Sell grain for $128.00 a bushel. Can't buy it? Tough! Eat your oil! Then, oil will come down.

Our great powers that be,( who are controlled by corporate interest ) will say it lower prices. That is if we drill closer off the coast of Florida. We are now on the down slide of the hydro carbon curve. No way we can drill to lower prices. Oil is actually to preciuos to burn. Invest in the future. Step One. Efficency. It is the least costly with imediate results. Step two. Renewable, such as solar, wind, hydro & closed looped geo thermal do not emit CO 2. Clean electricity and new battery technology will take us safely into the future, for so many reasons. Get involved. For the future of others who have yet to come. It is our responsibility to leave what we love, better then what we have now.
