I am not clear that this issue should be overlaid only on offshore drilling. All oil production, and transportation, involves risks. Perhaps what needs rethinking is the focus on using petroleum as if it is free (because it almost is at today's prices), without regard for the total societal cost of oil. We are addicted to oil, and that is the real problem. We need to demand more fuel efficient vehicles, move to smaller vehicles, and drive less in single passenger vehicles.
