re: ‘Drill, Baby, Drill!' Will Secure American Prosperity For The Twenty First Century

Most rigs would probably be so far offshore they would not pose a threat to the view.

Now the threat of a BP style oil spill may deter some companies from drilling because one mistake would bankrupt them in fines and claims from losses in the tourism industry.

Agree.

Look, I understand voter in Florida, even some amongst Trump and DeSantis’s base, see Louisiana’s coast and what happened during the BP spill and don’t want to complicate that possibility on their state’s coast.

However, if Trump and DeSantis are going to throw out campaign rhetoric of “unleashing America’s reserves” and “u leashing American energy”, then they need to have a come to Jesus discussion with their home state folks. Because other wise, then throwing out such statements is your typical, politician, BS campaign gobbledygook.
