The "LEFT" has stopped domestic oil drilling? Just the LEFT?

I THINK NOT:

WASHINGTON -- With his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, looking on, President Bush sealed a deal Wednesday to prevent further oil and gas drilling off the white sand beaches of the Florida Gulf Coast and in the cypress swamps near the Everglades. The unexpected announcement would require the federal government to repurchase $235 million worth of oil and gas leasing rights in the Destin Dome area, about 25 miles south of Pensacola, and in three wildlife areas including Big Cypress National Preserve

Monday, 07/24/2006 GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER:

I’m opposed to any weakening of the ban of off-shore oil drilling. We want to protect California’s coast, that is the bottom line. And we do not want to make any changes. I think that for anyone to think that this will bring the gas prices down, I think, is making a big mistake, because that’s not the answer. We need to invest in alternative fuels; that’s the answer. We need to look for new technologies; that’s the answer. Hydrogen Highway, for instance, what we’re doing in California here, building hydrogen fueling stations up and down our state. Those are the kinds of things, or supporting electric cars, hybrid cars, all of those kind of things are the answer to the problem.
