pros of oil drilling
Offshore drilling is the discovery and development of oil beneath the ocean. Drilling mainly takes place hundreds of miles of the coast of the ocean also thousand of miles below the ocean. One good thing about offshore drilling is that the oil rigs they use get oil for us we use for powering our machines. Another pro about offshore drilling is that the CIA's March 2011 world fact book said that offshore drilling is the benefit for our relief. We get 60% of our oil from other countries. If other countries wanted to hurt our country they could stop supplying us oil. By producing our own, we protect ourselves.
Other pros is that if we drill more off the coasts of the United States our supply would come from us and will lower our need to purchase from other countries. This will help give us more revenue and help our economy. Some say it may even lower fuel prices and gas if we increase how much we are drilling.
Oil is used to produce many items other than just fuel for our cars and providing heat to our homes. It is also used to help produce electricity.
Oil plays an important part of items we use on a daily basis. It is transferred and used in other forms to create plastics and some household items like toothpaste, shampoo, nail polish and many other things. Our world would be very very different if we didn't have oil.
Below is a link to an article that discusses many pros of offshore drilling. A lot of reading but interesting.
