.Millions of barrels of crude oil are transfered from tankers to barges every year at Bigstone anchorage just 10 miles out in the Delaware Bay and their have been no problems.Offshore drilling would help lower fuel prices,reduce dependence on OPEC,create many good paying jobs,and create fish havens that would help NJ tourism.The only negative is the remote chance their might be a spill.The left wing politicians and so-called environmentalist have ruined this once great state.I cant wait to retire and move to a normal state.

And people continue to vote Democrat. Oh well, at least these gas prices will teach them a lesson for ignoring a chance to increase oil supply. Thanks a lot, Dems.

Good. Offshore drilling is a sham.

I'll remember Sens. Bob Menendez and Frank Lautenberg (both D-NJ idiots) when voting against Lautenberg in November. Everytime I fill up my gas tank I think of both of these idiots. Can we send someone except Mr Stupid to Washington? We, the USA need energy. Yes, I know that there is pie in the sky with windmills and such but today, we need oil. Lets think about windmills and hydrogen when they actually exist.

Hundreds of oils platforms in the gulf of Mexico and Florida Al. , LA and Texas have no problem with beaches or Tourism.

There is 5-6 Wind Turbines in Atlantic City (on land) and you really can't see them eevn from 3 miles away why would anyone care if we have 100's of them out 10 miles in the ocean.
even if they are closer who cares I would think they would look cool and looking at them would remind me that we are making progress in conserving.

The Answer is Nuclear

The Gulf Coast states have much more tourism then NJ,yet it has not suffered at all from offshore drilling.When someone comes along and offers an alternative like offshore wind farms the same people that oppose drilling cry about wind farms.Millions of barrels of crude oil are transfered from tankers to barges every year at Bigstone anchorage just 10 miles out in the Delaware Bay and their have been no problems.Offshore drilling would help lower fuel prices,reduce dependence on OPEC,create many good paying jobs,and create fish havens that would help NJ tourism.The only negative is the remote chance their might be a spill.The left wing politicians and so-called environmentalist have ruined this once great state.I cant wait to retire and move to a normal state.

Please note: Nov. 28, 2000: Mississippi River south of New Orleans: oil tanker Westchester lost power and ran aground near Port Sulphur, La., dumping 567,000 gallons of crude oil into lower Mississippi. Spill was largest in U.S. waters since Exxon Valdez disaster in March 1989.

By strongly encouraging energy companies to turn away from oil, we will eventually create reliable and efficient alternative energy sources that develop economies of scale and create jobs, and lower energy and fuel costs, all without the risks associated with our dependency upon oil. The last thing we need in New Jersey is an accident like the one witnessed in the Prince William Sound via Exxon Valdez, or the estimated 7 million gallons spilled during Katrina.

We might have pristine shores. But without the tourist trade, wer'e done! Who is going to come down here when gas prices are out of reach for the average citizen. Our property taxes, food prices, etc. will skyrocket. We have the oil reserves to be independent for many years to come. There has been drilling in the Gulf of Mexico for decades without major oil spills. There will come a day when we will be begging the government to allow drilling. Until then we just suck it up.

typical half-wit actions on the part of the new left know-nothings.continue to pay high gas prices while cheerfully re-electing jerks like these two.
