The Drill Here, Drill Now movement missed something.
Hurricanes.
Gas prices, at many gas stations, are skyrocketing as a result of Hurricane Ike. So, what is the answer to our energy problems?
Drill Here? Drill Now?
Here? Now? The wind seems to be picking up. Maybe we shouldn't.
In 2005, gas prices surged as a result of Hurricane Katrina. We get an estimated 25 % of domestic oil from the gulf coast. If we start drilling more offshore, the percentage of oil we get there will obviously increase. So, we're going to solve our energy problems by letting prices spike every August or September?
Bottom Line? I didn't realize it'd be so easy to poke a hole in this argument.
