“More news coming out about those seven men in Miami that the FBI arrested. They said they were planning to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago. Seems they pledged their allegiance to al Qaeda. And they were after virgins in the afterlife because they couldn't find any in Miami.” -- Jay Leno

Gulf Coast residents greet drilling vote with worry and shrugs

Florida's $50-billion tourist industry depends heavily on its beaches. The slightest taint in the emerald waters of the Gulf of Mexico can be enough to send tourists packing. For instance, when red tide plagued southwest Florida last year, out-of-state visitors who got one whiff of all the dead fish quickly canceled their reservations....

"To see the eastern gulf put at risk by Congress is absolutely unthinkable" Nancy Markoe St. Pete Beach
Commissioner

"Tourism is really the only industry in the Keys, If there's nothing to attract tourists, then these Keys are worthless, Everyone's life would be destroyed, including mine." Capt. Adam Brynes' Siren Dive Shop in Summerland Key

"This is dumb to ruin valuable resources for what you're going to get, If you want to totally toast this state and make it nothing but Disney World, then go ahead and drill." Sue Colson Cedar Key Commissioner

Although drilling proponents have repeatedly said Hurricane Katrina caused no significant oil spills, Coast Guard officials say Katrina caused unprecedented damage requiring the largest environmental response in the nation's history. The storm created an 8.1-million gallon oil spill from multiple facilities along the Mississippi River corridor.

House votes to end offshore drilling ban
What We All Have Been Waiting For Tampa Bay!

The House voted Thursday to end a quarter-century offshore drilling ban

Many lawmakers fear that energy development could despoil coastal beaches, should there be a spill, and threatens the multibillion-dollar recreation and tourist economies of states where offshore energy development has been barred since the early 1980s.

"Our beaches and our coastline is what is critical to Floridians," declared Rep. Jim Davis, D-Fla. "We should not be sacrificing our economy, our environment for a little oil and gas."
