McCrory Would Consider Offshore Drilling
Republican governors candidate Pat McCrory says North Carolina should consider allowing offshore drilling as a way to meet its energy needs.
The Charlotte mayor said Monday that drilling would also create jobs and bring new revenue to the state.
Do more than consider it. McCrory should make a promise to roll with it. Offshore drilling is a winning issue with gas at $4 a gallon and climbing. The notion that it will hurt tourism is ridiculous. Those rigs are so far out you can’t see them from the shore.
