I am no expert on offshore drilling, and while I think this country should feed it's own energy needs, I'm not sure offshore drilling is the answer. Conservation and living smart is the answer. Anyone who complains about the "liberals" worrying too much about the environment, anyone who complains about the price of gas, and anyone who is ready to start drilling tomorrow better not be driving around Wilmington in an SUV. Unless needed for work, I do not think anyone driving one of these vehicles should share their opinion with the rest of us. For the record, I drive a hybrid. Do you know when our country will seriously develop alternative energy sources on a major scale???? When the last gallon of gas is pumped from the last gas station.....
