Donna,

There's part of the problem, irrational fears just like that one. The same scare statements were used in the 70s when the Alaskan pipeline was put in. NONE of it came true. This whole price runup has been nothing but fearmongering. We need to increase domestic supply and we need to do it now. China is drilling for oil less than 50 miles off our coast, yet US companies are prevented to do so by the environmentalist liberals, where the logic there? Who would do a better job protecting the environment?

You brought it up...........
