Exploration and drilling for oil and natural gas
This is a question that really crosses party boundaries, though it has become very partisan in Congress. Many Floridians and Californians have expressed a NIMBY attitude, regardless of political leanings. Floridian especially express fear of hurting the valuable tourist industry. However, China and India will soon be drilling off the Florida coast in Cuban controlled areas.
Even the most adamant pro-drilling people concede that this would not be a complete cure for the US energy situation, but claim that it is a vital prong in any tactic. Others refuse to consider such drilling and will only consider alternative sources of energy (wind, solar, bio, nuclear, etc.) What's your view?
