I too am a native Floridian (which is part of the reason this site and it's members mean so much to me compared to the "big" sites), and I too am for the exploration of our oil reserves
Bit like Rich says. The oil companies who are going to ultimately reap the benefit, should also stand ready (and by federal statute as well) to be held responsible for all damages, period!
No loopholes, no "if's" of "buts!"
you have a problem, it's YOUR problem!
This zero tolerance policy would necessarily force the oil companies into compliance. Want to drill? Accept the risk. If not, take your drill and GTFO
Pretty simple huh?
As long as there's a dependence of oil, why not be dependent onourselves? Hell, maybe we can sell a few gzillion barrells to some other country while we're at it
