Benefits Of Drilling In The US
For drilling in the USA Drilling in the United States is the best thing that we could do for our economy and for everyone as a nation. There are a lot of factors as to why we should be creating jobs, making money for the United States and protecting wild life and our oceans through land drilling.
Drilling in the United States will benefit us in many ways. According, to Portal Seven, our current unemployment rate under President Obama is at 9.4%; that’s the U-6 report. Drilling in the United States would open up many job's for the U.S. citizens and lower the U-6 report substantially. The people who oppose the drilling say that not everyone can work for an oil company, so there wouldn’t be that much jobs created. It will create jobs maybe …show more content…
They claim that all these companies are spending million's on offshore rigs to drill the oil which hurt our economy and makes our gas prices higher, along with buying more and more new rigs and just letting their old ones go without the proper preparations of dismantling. Penn Well also goes on to say that the new rigs are not holding the same values they were selling at last year, for $650,000, and now this year they are only selling for $375,000-$500,000 and are built for over millions. Penn Well says that the delivery of these new rigs will be pushed back to 2019 or later, growing into an over supplied market.
Another, reason we shouldn’t drill offshore is because of the hazards it would face with wild life and the ocean. For example, the BP oil spill killed lots of animals and was such a problem for the ocean that we didn’t know how to clean it or help the wild life that it hurt. There were many devastating things that happened during the BP oil spill and that’s what gave the oil companies bad names; if they drill within in the United States land mass, this would lower the risks for oil spills as large as the BP oil …show more content…
Animals for covered in oil and couldn't fly or move, turtle babies died because they couldn’t get what they needed to survive, and many other ocean life was impacted. Yes, this was a spill and not a normal case and this could happen anywhere you are drilling, but lets say your drilling in Alaska and it did happen. It wouldn’t be as nearly detrimental as it is to someplace in the middle of the ocean. People who might oppose this might say if we drilled closer to land and something like this happened it could affect animals and people and even homes in some cases. Yes, it would hurt all of those things, but the reason why it spread so fast is because it was all started in water and we all know how fast water moves from one place to
