1 - It isn't because "oil companies are greedy". I'm willing to bet there wouldn't be much, if any, investment in drilling off the FL and NC coasts, and other states like them, in the $60 oil price environment. Now that said...
2- I'm ok with FL and NC being within their right to have their Congressmen and politicians fight against opening up lease sales off their coasts. Fine. Just pay into the new national gasoline tax so that if/when oil prices go up to $90 & $120/bbl, states who welcome drilling & production off their coasts don't absorb has much of that increase as states who absolutely don't want it.

Why should Florida and North Carolina get to enjoy low oil prices thanks to Louisiana and Texas doing the heavy lifting?
Why should you enjoy beef from Nebraska? Louisiana should raise its own cows.

Someone is either taking that Landman show WAY too seriously, or is a complete dumbfrick.

I see lots of cows in Louisiana. Louisiana voters and politicians aren't opposed to raising cows.

Then you should do it, apparently, if we're all supposed to be self-sufficient states. Stop letting Texas and Nebraska provide you with food.

You've never seen cows grazing in Louisiana?

Who said anything about self sufficiency?
FL and NC will likely never produce the amount of oil off their coasts that LA and TX do, nor onshore. Not a problem.
The problem is when your politicians are completely opposed to even the possibility of any drilling and production off the shorelines. I never once made the argument that FL and NC should produce what other states produce. Just don't be opposed to exploration, or if you are, then don't bitch about paying higher gasoline and diesel prices.

Jackup drilling rigs vs semi-submersibles/drillships and fixed piled production platforms instead of semi-submersible/FPSOs due shallower. The fixed platforms mean fish galore.
We already know that the Norphlet Trend formation goes out into the Gulf offshore Pensacola and lots of natural gas with some oil was produced over decades near Milton, FL. There was a thriving, albeit small, petrochemical industry at Pace because of it.

Cattle is big business in Louisiana. Cameron and Vermillion parishes, you call counties, were one the largest range cattle producing areas in the nation. A beef glut in the 80's, and resulting low prices caused those numbers to drop. These cows are shipped out of state to stockyards to fatten for market, much like 100,000 Mexican head were shipped to stockyards in the US per month until this recent screw worm epidemic hit their herds..

Just say you don’t know shite about offshore drilling and move on.

Well first an outfit, one with proper bonding, would have to nominate a tract amongst what the area DOI deems as open for nomination. Then the DOI/BOEM would consider the bids for said tract(s) and award to the highest bidder.

Didn't someone ban drilling (extend the moratorium) from Florida's gulf coast all the way around and up to south carolina during their last term? That's some john kerry level of flip-flopping... and y'all gobble it up.
Or... now hear me out because this is a crazy thought... I was against the moratorium then and still support expanded drilling now. Unlike people who choose their opinions by taking the opposite stance of Trump, I make my own decisions regardless of Trump's position.
It's been nearly 10 years that the idiots have been telling us Trump supporters what we think. It's been 10 years of projection after projection and failure after failure, and they are no closer to realizing the truth.
