Don't let anyone get away with the old lie of complaining that fossil fuels are too expensive. The price we pay at the pump in no way reflects the true cost of these fuels.

There is no way to safely drill offshore without severe and expensive environmental damage. It is a dangerous toxic process that should cease to exist. Last week my husband and I went for a walk on the state beaches north of Santa Barbara, near where offshore drilling exists. There was no "oil spill", but our feet and legs were covered with sticky tar balls after just a few minutes of strolling on the shore. It took us two days to scrub the sticky crude off. When I asked a local about the pollution, he told me that was normal, and nobody walks barefoot on the beaches in the region because they are always so dirty from the drilling. If that is normal for coastlines adjacent to offshore oil drilling, I can not even begin to imagine how utterly horrific the damage is going to be from this massive ever expanding oil spill in the Gulf.
