#1 So... rather than have our coasts explored and drilled for oil we should give away a significant portion of our national treasure to a bunch of Saudi oil-ticks?

Seems like a sad bargain to me.

Inventory! Explore! Exploit!

Use it now while we can... some day oil will be superceded by some other form of energy.

#2 Fastest way I can think of to reduce CO2 production is to cut interstate power lines into California and New York. Oil and gas pipelines too.

#3 If Ted the Chappaquidic Amfib driver is against windmills near Martha's Vinyard, maybe he won't object to an offshore drilling platform instead as a constructive alternative.

#5 Nah. Unlike '67 Delta 88's, amphibs usually float.

#6 My first car was a 66 Delta 88. It rocked but needed premimum at a grade now called racing fuel!
It was a great car. He should have got jail time just for drowning the car let alone the girl.

400hp 425 SuperRocket with 13-1 (I think) compression ratio. (yeah it would sometimes continue on after shut off. Changing the sparkplug under the airconditioner really sucked too and was a great way to slice open your hand.)
It, also, taught me the danger of speed... I flew over a hill at 128MPH and saw a stop light, narrow bridge, town with lights and more. Started pumping the brakes and the fluid just boiled away.. Lucky all the lights were green. Slowly went to the side and waited for the breaks to cool before continuning the trip.
