    22 KB Western Senators Propose Ban on Pacific Drilling Ned the Newshound !XBW.lrXjxw 05/13/10(Thu)21:06 No.939502  
    WASHINGTON — The political ripples from the Gulf of Mexico oil disaster spread in the capital on Thursday as six West Coast senators proposed a permanent ban on drilling in the Pacific and another group tried to raise oil company liability in a spill to $10 billion from the current $75 million.

    The move by senators from California, Oregon and Washington, all Democrats, was largely symbolic because there are no plans at present to open the West Coast to drilling. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, a Republican, withdrew a modest plan for new offshore drilling shortly after the gulf accident.

    The liability measure was pushed by Senators Frank R. Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, Democrats of New Jersey, and Bill Nelson, Democrat of Florida, who said the current limit represents a small fraction of the likely damage from the BP spill in the gulf.

    Senator Lisa Murkowski, Republican of Alaska, a strong proponent of offshore drilling, blocked their bill, saying it would discourage all oil exploration. Ms. Murkowski is sponsoring a separate bill to raise oil taxes by a penny a barrel to increase the federal spill response fund.

    I read yesterday that congress are trying to push a one CENT fine per barrel of oil lost. Alright, 5 million barrels a day for 3 weeks is a lot of barrels of oil but it's not really a lot of money.

    BUT IF THERE WAS AN OIL SPILL IN THE PACIFIC THEN THE OIL SPILL would never reach american shores because the currents go the other fucking way.

    God fucking damnit.

    I say rather than banning the drilling, their should be incentives to produce nuclear. We should fine the hell out of the companies responsible and use the left over money to build nuclear. We also need to invest money to grow a super oil eating algae, that in turn can be eaten by the local animal population with no side effects.

    Real Opinion of Californians: NIMBY. We're really pro drilling, so long as it's not at our beaches. Trash your own states for oil. We'll just buy it from you. Also, keep out of California.
