Bad news for the CA central Valley

California is one whacko state. They need to put some drilling platforms off the coast of Leftist Coast and build a few refineries out there. Maybe the price of fuel would come down. Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Alabama can safely drill in the Gulf of Mexico (in Florida, it's still not allowed) so why can't California (and Florida) contribute to the domestic supply of oil?

Remember how the price of oil spiked after Hurricane Katrina? Katrina and three weeks later Hurricane Rita disrupted the production of oil in the Gulf of Mexico and also our oil and natural gas pipeline supplies all the way from Louisiana up the east coast. The risk needs to be spread around. What happens when the Gulf coast takes another major hurricane. California, Florida, Alaska - are you listening? It's time to decrease the feeding of terrorists that hate us in the Middle East and increase our supply from elsewhere.

You guys wouldn't believe the fishing at those drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico. The fish congregate out there. And the environmentalists said the rigs would be harmful. Bull!
