Oil Drilling in Florida?
The Governor says we must drill for more oil at home, but not off the coast of Florida.

With gas topping four dollars a gallon there is renewed interest in
drilling for oil off of Florida’s coast.
Asked if he has changed his opposition to a ban on drilling closer to Florida beaches, Governor Charlie Crist sounded open to the idea this morning.
Governor Crist said “North America is a place where there is a lot of oil, whether it’s in Montana, North Dakota, or Alaska, or other places. I think people need more of it in order to reduce the cost”.
But when asked point blank if he would support drilling. He said no, and turned the topic to conservation and alternative sources such as ethanol from sugarcane.
