Offshore Drilling: Is it worth it? Ad

The whole commercial is basically a barrage of images of environmental catastrophe that is possible with offshore drilling - oil slicks, unsightly oil barracks spewing flame and smoke, animals and coral reefs dying, etc.

Alternate Energy Sources

One of the biggest issues this year is the Global Energy Crisis and the Global Climate Crisis. Obama's campaign should stress the fact that it is a crisis that we have to deal with and promote alternate energy sources that he plans to fund. The campaign should also attack McCain's energy plan especially the ANWR drilling and the offshore drilling.

Offshore drilling

I hugely support the comprehensive energy plan that Senator Obama presents to us, comparing to a very vague one by Senator McCain.

emphasize that offshore drilling wont help at all

If all the oil was gathered around the united states, it would add up to about 3% of what the middle east is supplying us. This campaign needs to point out that 3% isn't going to do anything to lower gas prices and will probably end up costing more for construction of drilling sites and paying employees.

Hurricanes + Offshore Drilling = Bad combination...

Why rely heavily on offshore drilling which could in an instant be disrupted by a storm like Gustav. We WILL see an effect from this and other storms, and it only emphasizes why we should be focusing on renewable and safer forms of energy. Oil is NOT the answer.
