And lobby hard for a moratorium on new exploration, and eventual retreat from exploitation.

It's fucking CRAZY how thoroughly developed the Gulf already is, most people have no idea.

Some maps of the gulf to ponder:

They want to drill off Florida's west coast:

Note: Those blue lines are the network of pipelines out there.



New discoveries are further and further offshore and in deeper water, more difficult to ensure environmental safety:



Open up this large image, PDF, to see the networks of underwater pipelines out there now, you'll be shocked:

18. As we have known for 30 years.. The price of Gas is a gigantic scam...

what everyone (or mostly everyone) is missing.. is that the supply of oil is a gigantic scam that is controlled by the Goldman Sachs Bankers.

Our whole economy.. our lifestyle.. wars.. births.. deaths.. it's ALL controlled by Big Oil backed up by Big Banks!

Will Mr. Obama put on his superman outfit or Batman cape? I am not holding my breath.
