Can Offshore Drilling Bring Down Gas Prices?

"potential negative impact on tourism" you lost me after that statement. no way could you ever see the drill rigs off shore they are talking a mimimum of 50 miles off shore. You have no idea of what may lay off shore for oil , only estimates from decades ago and we need to drill to determine if profitable. Let's not look at bringing prices down and look at security issues. put the oil produced into storage in case of shortages, sell only in united states the excess if any, and build up a tax that will provide for potential major oil spill. With a fund built ahead of drilling states should be relieved of having a financial determents.
