What do real scientists & engineers think about drilling off-shore?

Looks like the engineers and other assorted technical gurus at Popular Mechanics do not agree with democrats on the viability of off-shore drilling. Sucks to be a leftist anti-American and anti-capitalist twit. I recently got a lib to admit to me why they objected so hard to natural gas or oil, after he tried to convince me with the usual litany of bull about saving the planet and seeing me just yawn, he finally came clean and admitted the real problem was that oil & gas where associated with capitalism, greedy evil republican/conservative fat-cats stealing from the poor and drinking baby’s blood, and the left simply did not want anymore of that. Hence the demand for some pie-in-the-sky alternative that is not beholden to capitalism. You should have seen the look of stupidity on his face when I pointed out that the issue was the power of energy, the world we live in can not exist without the power to make it work, and whether it was oil, gas, nuclear, wind, solar, or faerie dust, in the end some powerful people would be behind whatever form of energy was the one. I was suprised when he blurted out that if the government took control of it then all would be fine. Typical collectivist idiots. I guess my point is that the left seems not really motivated by anything sensible and completely driven by marxist emotionality. Bad combination, man.
