According to the Pensacola News Journal the Republican candidate for the US Senate doesn’t see drilling off the Florida coast as a problem – Rubio: Offshore drilling could be good for state
Framing it as an issue of energy independence and national security, U.S. Senate hopeful Marco Rubio said Tuesday that offshore drilling isn’t a dead issue for Florida.
Rubio spoke to about 50 supporters at McGuire’s Irish Pub in Pensacola, touching on issues ranging from the BP oil spill and health care to religious freedom and immigration.
This is why there has to be an amendment to Florida’s constitution: the politicians just refuse to give up on ideas that will bring them a lot of money. It’s as if the lost tourist and fishing seasons never happened, and oil isn’t still coming ashore along the coast. You just can’t get through to them.
Oil is sold on the world market to the highest bidder because the US doesn’t control its supplies, multinational corporations do. How does that improve our energy independence or security?
