coming soon to a beach near you

I would imagine DP321 wants one right at his local - unless he's getting tired of all this winning.

 

They can put them ALL off the shore of NH as far as I am concerned. The more the merrier!! Just buy oil stocks, then surf Tavarua, etc!!
So stop whining, boys. And who knows, maybe while you are banging your girlfriends on the beach, some ready made lubricant will wash ashore for your use!!! Be positive!! You guys always have such "bad attitudes" towards this.....

 

NJ waters were approved by Bush a long time ago, but there are no current proposed leases pending because Obama came in and banned it.

 

Sounds like it could create a lot of good paying jobs.

 

The platforms are actually good habitat and structure for fish and the sports fishing industry...

 

so you guys see no downside to this?

 

Oh, downside for sure, that being, we have to listen to the incessant whining of liberals that hate oil companies, but yet want to drive their oil based Range Rovers in to environmentally sensitive lands so they can feel "at one with nature". Yeah, that is a downside......<grin>

 

Idk I seem to recall some people in the Gulf Coast dealing with some serious problems due to some BP oil spill...something like that

 

Keep playing the hits Barry!

 

We need oil. But I believe we have to stop thinking it's the best option to meet our energy needs. I think we need to invest in technologies that are cleaner and more sustainable so we can continue to use oil for the indefinite future to make durable goods.

Otherwise... go ahead... burn it all up. Then what? Then we'll be forced into the exact same situation I'm calling for now, but without the oil for products.

 

Maybe you should power that car that drives your ass to the beach with your oil based surfboard , with a set of gerbils in a treadmill!! hahahaha!!
You are all right kyle. I hate oil spill also. As for the offshore platforms, as it stands now, we don't really need them--that is your answer. Hell, we have fracking!!!

 

As long as they don't interfere with the wind farms that kill 1,000,000 birds an hour

 

Poorly designed turbines do kill a lot of birds and bats. The technology has a long way to go... but we need to get there, either now, or later when we don't have a choice. So I say, the sooner the better.

 

I would prefer this to wind turbines. They are a complete waste of money, aesthetic beauty, and the environment. I despise wind turbines, far more than the risk of oil spills.

 

I blame the Russians!!!

 

I remember when the majority of Americans actually believed that nuclear energy was a cleaner and more efficient source of power.

I'm sure that all options currently on the table (oil, coal, wind and sun) will be obsolete before this century is over.

This is just classic Trump negotiation tactics...throw out the worst case scenario and force them to come to the table to negotiate. Don't want to negotiate? Whip out the worst case scenario, and see ya in court.

I wouldn't jump the gun on this one. Many of the places he's proposing to drill probably doesn't have enough oil to justify the effort.

Wait and see

 

some birds die big whoop lol,its like 10 degrees out atm and imagine having no power,so basically no heat in these conditions so the evil birds can live at peace.

I got no problem with oil rigs its good for business.and an oil spill,big whoop who gives a poo.so u have to buy ur seafood from out of state,no worries.toxic seas during a continuous run of epic swell.im sure a wetsuit is good enough,maybe a little dust mask.iv been through worse,the environment will be fine

 

It's probably going to be a nothing sandwich. We have had a global glut of oil, prices have been crap for years, investment in offshore oil exploration has been dropping for years, and the big oil companies are actually selling off their offshore portfolios to focus on shale fields where new extraction techniques, e.g. fracking, have made those far more lucrative.

This reminds me of the Wayne Gretzky quote, "I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.". Trump skates to where the puck was 5 years ago.

 

Once in a lifetime thing? That is yet to be seen....
