The Senate has just advanced a bill that would open up some areas around the Gulf for off-shore drilling. There is some doubt that the bill will be passed since the House will probably not accept the changes made to their own similar bill. I'm just fed up with Congress trying to find temporary solutions to long-term problems. We have a energy (mostly oil & gas) crisis on our hands. Their idea is to find more of these resources and take every last drop that the earth has. Why not invest money into developing alternative, clean, & renewable energy sources? That would make more sense to me than ruining America's beautiful coastline that already suffers from development and pollution. (more here)
