Think about this: What's the end effect of denying offshore drilling to American companies? Cuba, with help from the China, is drilling for oil in the Caribbean, right off the coast of Florida. We don't do it because we want to protect the environment. That oil is going to be extracted by someone. What the environmentalists are saying, in essence, is that it's better to have the Chinese do it than us.
How does that make any sense at all? Would you want the people whose country looks like this:
to operate this?
Forget that. If you want to see ocean pollution, check this out. If only a fraction of these people peed, talk about pollution!
ReplyDeleteKT, It all points to the sanctimony of the environmental movement: they realize, for instance, that driving the cement production business out of California will actually increase the carbon footprint as that cement now made in Arizona or Nevada will simpy have to be trucked back in - at least, California will not be the actual source of CO2 emmissions and thus can maintain the moral highground because screw the planet that's what this is all about, anyway.
