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.

we are not moving fast enough on electric cars. there should be larger incentives to get more of the commuter to trade in there care earlier. i have no idea of per cent of commuters that could drop buying gasoline and have it pay for over night charge to batteries. If break even we still when if the offset is less pollution. then again no idea about disposal of batteries or recycle. Does anyone know if an electric car is cheaper then buying $4. gas if your commute is less than forty miles each way?

Peco in my area is not a cheap provider of electricity and is looking for increases all the time.
