I am always amazed how our politicians can talk and support something they know nothing about. Why not let Shell go forward with this? It will bring jobs and income to the state. If we don't know the cost to make the deal then do like every other government in the world does and ask for a piece of the action which means you take some of the risk. Meanwhile, we can keep paying $4 or whatever for a gallon of gas and keep exporting our jobs to Venezuela or the Middle East who are supplying our fuel.
With regard to pollution, the earth is a closed system and we will get whatever pollution that goes with our consumption - we seem comfortable though to let other nations do the work and not have to see the effects which don't leave the system. We are arrogant consumers who don't want to know about the true cost of our consumption.
