Majority Of Americans Support Off-Shore Drilling…
...in California.
Currently, it is only legal to drill for oil off certain parts of the California coast. Should the law be changed to expand drilling for oil in coastal waters or should the law stay as is?
59% Change To Expand
33% Stay As Is
8% Not Sure
What’s perhaps even more interesting is that 48% of the 59% who want to expand off-shore drilling have just come to their position on this issue “recently.”
It’s amazing what $4.50/gallon gasoline can do to your outlook on an issue.
Meanwhile, the folks at the Environmental Defense Fund in California are saying a poll they conducted shows that 73% of Californians support state climate change initiatives even if those initiatives make prices higher.
One of these two polls is clearly wrong. Which do you think is more likely? That a majority of Californians don’t mind higher prices in the name of fighting climate change? Or that a majority of Californians want cheaper gas?
