Here in California, the coast is a tourist attraction. An oil
spill would reduce tourist dollars that our economy needs. What
would we get for the oil that would be pumped? The best guess is
3 to 4 cents price reduction/gallon in 10 years. The oil wouldn't
be earmarked for the US. consumption. It would go to traditional oil
markets for sale to the highest bidder and we would see little
benefit for the average citizen. Conservation and alternative
energy sources are what we need, not subsidies to petroleum
and nuclear energy producers.
