Offshore Drilling

What is offshore drilling?

Offshore drilling is drilling for natural gas offshore.

Why is it good?

Thats where the U.S. gets it's oil and natural gas from, and without it, we would have no oil or natural gas to use.

Why is it bad?


Drilling blowouts can happen, and cause oil to spill on beaches.

How do you feel about it?


I feel that offshore drilling is acceptable, as long as it is not harming the enviorment or people.
