if they only drilled in the Dakotas and Montana then this bill might fly....maybe....eh probably not, the Florida Gulf is already polluted enough, red tide is no fun.
Drilling in America is pointless though, its not that oil companies dont have any new areas to drill, its just that they understand their non renewable resource drives the world's economy. There are huge oil reserves in Africa, Saudia Arabia, and S. America but they dont drill them because of a. political reasons and b. why go through the hassle to refine and produce more oil when you can sell 1 barrel for $200 instead of 2 for $100 each. There are no checks and balances in the pure capitalist game people love to play, greed is a sin baby.
