Thank you for providing some needed perspective on the issue of offshore drilling. My first reaction was that we should allow it in light of the high gasoline prices. However, your commentary changed my mind. High gasoline prices hurt everyone but if we can make the adjustment now, we will have a better future.
Already, I see changes where I thought I wouldn't. When I first bought my hybrid 2 years ago, it was mainly a curiosity among my many relatives. Now, my brother bought one and others are trying (having trouble unloading their large SUVs though). I see people making changes to their lifestyle, including me, which is resulting in less pollution and greenhouse gas generation. So, there is a good side to the high gas prices.
