    I am disappointed to read that the administration is planning to open the Mid-Atlantic for offshore drilling, and that I am unable to attend the public session being held today in Atlantic City. I believe the potential costs and environmental impact GREATLY outweigh the need for domestic energy development of this type in the region. Only corporations and a small number of people would benefit.

    Please read about the program and get involved if you can. Not sure why the government feels this is a good idea, but I sure don't.

    bungalow,
    you never complained when it was elsewhere. This is not new in other areas.
    Classic NIMBY!!!

    You don't know me. I complain plenty. Fact is, you can make your voice heard more easily when they open these things up for public comment than you can when all of the regulations (or lack of) are already in place. So happens that many of you have the potential to be impacted by this proposal. And yes, it should be the people that have the potential to be impacted that should be involved.

    Lead the charge Baddy! I like all of the above. It'd be great to have a huge turnout with signage for a public session like that. How could we organize when today was the first I heard about the meeting? The meeting which is being held today!

    With the oil prices as low as they are, you will not have to worry about any drilling going on for years. A lot of the driller companies are presently getting no new contracts, surviving on old contracts.
    Great time to invest in their stocks.

    Email your elected officials and BOEM let them know you are against taking such drastic risks for such little payout. Let them know you cannot vote for ANYBODY who supports drilling off the East Atlantic coast.Most of the beach towns and cities in SC have formally come out against it due to citizens complaints and concerns. From what I have gathered it has estimated that there is only 4% oil and 8% natural gas of The US's total reserve located at the proposed area off the east Atlantic coast. There are are many other more productive and less destructive places available for the oil companies to drill.

    If the governors and senators and congressmen and other paid shills were forced to have an oil derrick in their family compound, or an oil rig off their private yacht club, or on their private country club, they would reconsider. "But sir, we have found a huge oil reserve under the 18th green at Augusta" Drill baby drill? Yeah, right.
