Should the U.S. expand offshore oil drilling?

No, oil drilling should be limited and slowly eliminated, due to the serious environmental issues and due to this behavior. Renewable energy should be promoted over coal, oil, and natural gas.

Keep drilling for the economy but with more oversight.

Keep drilling for the economy with more oversight.

Imagine if a local wildlife habitat was at risk due to offshore drilling; what actions would you consider taking?

Do you think further offshore drilling could affect your future career choices or lifestyle, and if so, how?

Can you recall a moment when environmental concerns directly influenced a decision you made?

How would you feel if a new offshore oil rig was constructed near your favorite beach?

Have you or someone you know ever been affected by oil prices, and how might more drilling impact that?

What would your ideal balance between energy independence and environmental preservation look like?

If your community had to vote on allowing offshore drilling nearby, what factors would guide your vote?

How would you propose we tackle the challenge of meeting energy demands while safeguarding marine ecosystems?

If an oil spill occurred on a coastline you care about, what would be your immediate reaction and response?

Reflect on a time when you had to compromise; how do you think nations should compromise on energy and environment?

No, and oil drilling should be limited and slowly eliminated, due to the serious environmental issues and due to this behavior. Renewable energy should be promoted over coal, oil, and natural gas.

I’m uneducated on this issue

Incentivize the private sector to develop alternative forms of energy

No, because it has a poor effect on Native Americans and Black Americans in urban areas and reservations.

Keep drilling for the economy

Keep drilling for the economy but with more environmentally friendly methods.

Keep drilling for the economy but continue to look after the environment.

Keep drilling for the economy but try to be more environmentally safe.

Keep drilling for the economy but with better oversight.

Keep drilling for the economy but look for better alternatives.

Only if done with better oversight to protect the environment.

Yes, but seek new sources of energy and moderately regulate the energy sector

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill; they should also drill responsibly to ensure there's no harm to the environment. Also, we need to find better energy sources.

yes, however they MUST confirm to environmental standards that no other country requires.

Yes, but companies must be held to the highest safety standards and punished harshly when they do not adhere, and foot all costs when there is a spill. Also, we should invest in better energy sources such as nuclear and renewable energy, and environmental regulations should be applied as well.

Keep those already in use but be cautious with the environment.

Yes but get rid of all Energy subsidies.

Yes, it's a better alternative than blowing up the Middle East

I believe there should be incentive to slow down, but the Green New Deal will not work, if you stop all at once you will have people without transport. If no gas is being produced then people with electric cars will have transport, but people without won't. The cost to fully change to electric isn't viable right now, but we should move in that direction. Also there should be more of a direction into wind, solar, and Nuclear power. Also we need newer nuclear complexes as most of them running are from the 60's.

even with the pros, there are still negatives on the environment

Yes, but with very strict environmental regulations

No, end all off shore drilling and provide more environmentally friendly options

We should be developing nuclear power.

I don’t have enough info on this matter

Regardless, we should let the free market determine the best energy sources.

Yes, but only if they are granted access.

Companies should be able to decide what path is best for them and the government should not be involved at all.

No, maintain current offshore wells and provide incentives for a transfer to alternative energy

No, end the expansion of all offshore oil drilling, but maintain our current offshore oil wells, for now.

No, and end all plans to expand offshore oil drilling, but maintain our current offshore oil wells, for now.

If the offshore oil drilling affects aquatic life or land towards the shore than it might need to be regulated or slowed down.

No, end all offshore and onshore oil drilling

NO!!! It is extremely bad for our environment... it releases toxic pollution into the air and water causing not just harm to the sea-animals, but us as humans to!

Yes, we should be energy independent and continue to encourage green alternatives

No, and provide more incentives for alternative energy production while decreasing dependence on oil reserves

Yes, until alternative energy sources are cheaper and more efficient than fossil fuels

Yes, while remaining as environmentally conscious and safe as possible.

Decrease the number of offshore oil rigs

The US Steals enough oil already. No.

No, keep offshore oil drilling but provide more energy production

Yes, but they should take higher precaution so that way they can prevent spills in the ocean ad any other harmful issues.

No but keep existing wells but impose a federal severance tax on the wells

Only until we find better energy sources.

Should not be banned but be needs to be improved in its safety and the likelihood of spills and accidents need to be greatly reduced.

I think the US should strive to be more self reliant.

Only expand to areas operated under America and not foreign nations or entities

Tax carbon and let the market decide

prevent sea creatures from being harm

No, end all offshore oil drilling and focus on cleaner energy

No, the importance of fossil fuels in today's society should be recognised, but we should move towards more sustainable energy

The U.S. should not be oil drilling at all. We've taken plenty from the Earth and if we don't use the oil we do have to manufacture a reliable natural energy source, we will eventually run out of fossil fuels. If that happens the world will have to change way more drastically than it would if we converted to natural energy sources.

Yes, but they should be more careful about where we put the drills

No, but maintain current offshore oil wells and also provide more incentives for alternative energy production.

only if we have a safe place to drill and dont hurt animals

Yes, but only to prevent the oil from being used, which could potentially screw the environent past saving.

No, offshore drilling hurt the Gulf of Mexico - to this day the ecosystems not back to normal.

It should be up to the company that owns the pipeline and the state its drilling in.
