It cannot be banned now. It would be like quiting crack cold turkey.

What should be done is regulation increased to Scandinavian standards, which would have made the recent oil spill impossible.

And the tax loopholes for big oil in the US should be closed, considering it employs less Americans than UPS and most of the money goes to foriegn nations who hate us. The money saved from closing the loopholes lobbied for by the richest industry in the history of the world, should be set aside for research into renewable energy.

More drilling. The only reason for the Gulf of Mexico incident because of government insidious regulations that prevents drilling closer to land.

It should be banned because it drenches marine animals in oil. Also it affects reasturant workers with sea food who catch in the gulf. After the recent spill. Is that food good to eat??

Oil is released naturally into the environment, always has and always will be whether we humans continue to drill or not.
