What could possibly go wrong, volume 347?

The difference here is that there is no ecological disaster that we know of...yet.  Accidents happen all the time in public transportation & mass transit, which the Obama administration is so eager to force on the American public.  Again, there is no known ecological disaster with this drilling platform.  Maybe in 60 days after hundreds of millions of gallons of crude have been spilled into the gulf and oil is coating coastal wetlands, Obama will let us know of the disaster that has occurred, just like with the Deepwater Horizon.  Then he will tell coastal states they can't protect their shores with emergency berms, and do nothing except say the driller is responsible.  Because hey, he is such a great leader!

"Sept. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Latin America's largest company by market value, plans to raise as much as 129 billion reais ($75 billion) in the world's largest share sale as it seeks cash to develop offshore oil fields. The shares rose 4.4 percent for the biggest gain since May."

The point is America can stop drilling tomorrow but everyone else in the world is full speed ahead.  In this case, Petrobras wants $75 BILLION to develop offshore oil fields.  Therefore, why should America stop drilling offshore?
