Yes

Oil Drilling poisons the world worse and encourages gas and driving. The glaciers are already melting and taking damage from the drilling there.

There are other ways to get energy and all oil drilling does is waste energy and harm the environment.

The detriment to the environment, as well as the lack of planning for energy supplies for future generations.

Instead of destroying the environment, endangering our marine ecosystems, and leaning toward our dependence on oil, I think it would be beneficial to move away from fossil fuels and move toward renewable energy. This transition would create jobs, benefit the economy, save the environment, and set the world up to continue producing energy indefinitely instead of relying on finite resources.

The pollution within the air from oil drilling and the damage to the marine and land environment shows extreme climate change as a result.

Oil drilling is very dangerous because it effects the environment and it can also harm workers in the process.

If we continue to expand drilling operations the change we need to save the planet will never happen or happen far to late we need to fix the climate crisis to survive as a species and to keep our planets ecosystem alive.

Oil drilling is cuasing harm to the enviroment as well as contiuing many of the issues in the climate movement.

Oil drilling can be devastating for the environment, its unhealthy for the planet and should be reduced as much as possible

I think that we need to prioritize our environment or we will no longer have natural resources and eventually no environment.

its bad for the enviornment and we should be protecting the oceans as many coral reefs and wildlife are dying

Offshore oil drilling is harmful to local wildlife and the environments they inhabit. Time and time again, we have seen that offshore oil drilling destroys beautiful natural habitats, killing local flora and fauna or getting rid of their homes. Offshore oil drilling can also lead to oil spills and rig incidents, which can further harm animals and people.

Climate change is rapid and the government is choosing to drill rather than to improve its efficiency, which would benefit in the long run.

Oil drilling is incredibly harmful to the environment. I believe that we shouldn't increase drilling and we should wean off of oil entirely.

The amount of emissions that are released from oil drilling are outrageous and there are more effective and efficient ways of energy production. Such as Nuclear Energy, or even smaller forms of energy production like solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy. They might not be able to replace fossil fuels on their own, but when combined and stored, they have the ability to make a huge difference in energy efficiency.

Oil is a finite resource. Critics argue that drilling "every last drop" is a short-term fix that ignores the inevitable reality of depletion. They suggest that true energy security comes from diversifying energy sources rather than doubling down on a declining one.

We need to focus on renewable energy instead of causing more harm to environments and communities through oil drilling.

Oil drilling is awful for our planet and is a waste of time and money due to cheaper alternatives like onshore wind turbines and solar panels that can generate more power more quickly, effectively, and cheaper providing less financial burden to the average American.

It does more damage then good. Our climate change really is increasing and many animals are left without homes and food because of this.

Oil drilling is one of the leading causes for habitat loss for wildlife and releases CO2 emissions at a rapid rate.

Oil drilling has time and time again proven the fact that it has a high chance of harming the environment and has ended the long term life spans of coral reefs all around the world.

It causes too many risks to wildlife and can pollute, making it harder for people to get their food from the ocean

we are spending money and reacources to farm a finite material instead of working towards more stable and renewable energies

They're willing to damage the oceans which make up 70% of the Earth's surface, and not only will it cause drastic, negative changes like many marine life being killed off, it could also change the weather patterns which would impact the continents

We should instead expand renewable energies. Just start covering parking lots with solar panels! Leave the ocean alone, it always wins.

Oil drilling is harmful to marine life, as it contributes to the release of greenhouse gases, and increasing climate change risks.

Oil drilling continues to kick the can down the road, at the expense of the natural environment we all live in. Oil will run out, so we are just wasting money and ruining our great country in the process.

Oil Drilling, although creating an efficient way to obtain energy, is bad for the environment and for public safety due to the high risk of disasters and high carbon emission. Instead, we should focus on investing more in sustainable energy sources, such as solar, wind, and geothermal.

Favoring corporations' short-term profits over the health of over human population and the environment is foolish. More sustainable options must be found.

Oil drilling is terrible for the environment and this world will be destroyed if they continue to do that.

You may want lower gas prices, but when your water is compromised because oil has leaked into the sources, you won't be so selfish as not caring about the marine environment.

Oil drilling only hurts the environment. Especially in the ocean. Oil spills are catastrophic to crucial ecosystems, killing hundreds of ocean animals and killing

offshore oil drilling destroys the habitats of marine life and pollutes the already heavily stressed water, there are alternative fuels and instead of drilling for oil we should invest more in the advancement of clean energy

We dont need and should not rely on oil when more environmentally friendly and safer options are available

There would be a greater risk in an oil spill and can cause a chain reaction throughout the ocean leading to unsafe waters and nearly endangered species of fish like the Deepwater Horizon incident.

We were put on this Earth and we are lucky to be here. We are not the only living things on this planet and we need to protect the plants and animals from danger as well.

Im against oil drilling we endargering sea animals killing coral reefs and i support renewable ENERGY!

Renewable energy is often a cheaper source of energy in the long term, and oil drilling is very environmentally destructive and often causes political instability.

Oil Company negligence regarding oil drilling equipment is enough evidence. Constantly spilling oil onto land, waterways, and affecting local human and wildlife habitats.

I won't argue with someone who supports the lawyer lobbyists that are destroying this country. This is a fundamental thing that if you have been changed your mind about it, you never will.

Oil drilling is horrible for the enviroment. Fund other ways to find oil without the harmful tendoncies

It is extremely bad for the environment and no amount of money is worth harm to our ecosystems and wildlife.

We only have one earth, we should protect it. If we destroy the environment then we have major issues larger than just humanities incompetence.

🌱 The Illusion of Short-Term Gain
While proponents argue that oil drilling boosts the economy and reduces foreign dependence, this is a short-sighted tradeoff. The environmental cost—habitat destruction, oil spills, and greenhouse gas emissions—is not just collateral damage; it’s a direct threat to planetary stability and human health.

- Oil spills like Deepwater Horizon caused billions in damage and irreversible harm to marine ecosystems.
- Fossil fuel combustion remains the largest contributor to climate change, with oil and gas responsible for ~40% of global greenhouse emi…  Read moressions.

Instead of pouring more money into old, risky fossil fuel projects, we should be building out clean energy that creates good jobs, keeps our beaches and fisheries safe, and gives us more reliable energy in the long run.

The environmental impacts of expanding could be bad and could cost us more in the long term than if we didn't expand and the future wouldn't pay for the consequences but if we can get it under control then we should expand.

That oil drilling and all other fossil fuels are non-renewable so as the population rises the supply will get higher meaning it will only get more, and more expensive. It also is terrible for the environment.

yes, No i think that is a really idea because we are just destroying out home planet quicker we should look for smarter and healthy ways to make energy to drive around are cars around.

offshore drilling is bad for the environment, the same funding should go to environmentally sustainable energy.

Oil is a limited resource so the sooner we can switch to electric or other fuels the less catastrophic it will be when we run out.

if we keep destroying the ocean, more people will starve and the air would be destroyed which result in everyone being screwed.

Oil drilling harms the earth, and why drill and waste money when we could use electricity which is cheaper and healthier for the environment.

its terrible, its bad for our environment and were not going to live long if you keep messing with the ecosystem

No, the Oil Drilling policies are not okay. They are going to hurt, animals, and our environment. Global warming is already an issue and Oil drilling is just going to make it worse

Oil drilling destroys wildlife and isn’t sustainable. Oil won’t be around forever so we need a better solution.

The environmental impact is not good for our future and the climate. The loss of animals habitats is bad too.

You mean besides the fact that we have no more technological need for oil with all of the abundant easily renewable resources like solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc., and the horrific impact on the environment and potential catastrophes associated with oil drilling in aquatic environments? We no longer need to live in the past. What else needs be said?

Oil drilling will destroy the world and the beautiful place we love. It also increase Co2 emissions worsening Climate change and global warming.

it is an unsustainable position. oil will deplete and the beauty of nature and trees and animals won't ever return. creates a vast wasteland.

Could lower gas prices since more oil and gas for us, but no we are killing our earth and need to find an alternative now.

We need to keep our land safe so we can continue to live and thrive on this planet we call home. If we destroy the planet too much, there will be no room left for life on Earth.

It is going to run out soon anyway so why not send that investment into cleaner renewable forms of energy.

We don't need to expand offshore drilling. We need to retool refineries to handle the light crude we are exporting now.

Oil drilling is really bad for the environment. And America should use some of the taxes to help the environment. Instead of making cold places inhabitable for polar bears seals penguins and plenty others.

Natonaliznig the elecltric grid could lead to standardized upgrades and potentially better infrastructure. Expect it raises concerns about the Governement effiency and the potential loss of innovation from private competition

if we dont learn to protect orur planate we will have worse problmes then getting oil the oil we drill destoys habitas and increases climate chnage it cause more problomes then soves

we need to stop reliance on fossil fuels so investing in other energy sources rather than oil needs to happen.

We only need expand oil drilling if there is no oil in the current location, to save our sacred land from renovation.

Oil drilling is extremely dangerous to climate change, our environment, as well as the animals involved in these areas. Oil drilling is taking away from the beautiful planet we were blessed with, and is constantly destroying economical factors of the world. Furthermore, the animals in the drilling areas are at risk of losing their home, food source, and species as a whole. Oil drilling is not only unethical as it poses many risks to the well-being of the globe, but also shows zero respect for nature.

Its hurting the animals that live in the water and it pollutes bad fumes and fish or whatever else could die

Renewable energy should be encouraged and incentives as we are currently seeing the effects of long term oil drilling in the environmental effects and climate change.

While doing it in the ocean, if an accident were to happen, which it has, all the animal life would be damaged. Drilling on land is more acceptable.

We need to start investing more in green energy and stop allowing fossil fuel companies to control our government

Oil drilling might be best for short term cost, but the long term cost will be detrimental for our future

Do you hate animals? Think about our ecosystem, how would YOU feel if your home was melting away each day because stupid people want to be doing all these horrible things to the environment?

We need to rapidly transition to renewable energy. Doing this would eliminate the need to drill for oil.

Oil drilling is bad for the environment, and we rely on the environment for our resources, so hurting the environment will hurt us in the long run.

We are going to other countries and toppling their economies and stealing from them. this needs to stop

Its slowly killing our planet and we should keep our planet healthy. If we have an unhealthy planet how will that effect our crops, water, and over all us.

Oil is only a temporary solution to supply the world with energy. We need to invest now into long-term, sustainable forms of energy that are not polluting Earth. The fact that we will run out soon means we are not creating a viable situation for our future generations. Its time we stop leaving burdens for future people. Climate change is going to continue to grow if we don't make changes now.

Oil drilling doesn't just cause harm to the environment but it is also a form of control for big companies to control resources and raise the prices of consumer goods controlling the economy while destroying the world.
