drilling isnt the answer. how much of the already appropriated land are they drilling on currently offshore?
according to the washington times hurricane ike destroyed at least 10 oil production platforms. hurricanes katrina and rita caused 124 oil spills resulting in more that 743,000 gallons spilling into the gulf. report here on that number. the Houston Chronicle reported in 2005: The quantity and cumulative magnitude of the 595 spills, which were spread across four states and struck offshore and inland, rank these two hurricanes among the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. so yea. drilling isnt the answer, anywhere, offshore, ANWAR, whatever.
