This truly sucks. Oil sucks; it's dirty, messy, and dangerous. The problem is we need it, and lots of it. The easiest places to get it seem to be in the waters around this country. As long as were waiting for great batteries and solar/wind to get good enough so that we can stop using oil. Until then, we need as much oil as we can get, as cheaply as we can get it.
