McCrory Pushes Off-Shore Drilling
Calls his position a '100-percent difference of opinion' with Perdue
RALEIGH (Carolina Journal Online) — Republican gubernatorial candidate Pat McCrory staked out Monday what he called a “100-percent difference of opinion” with Democratic rival Beverly Perdue over offshore drilling in North Carolina.
In a series of public appearances from Greenville to Raleigh, McCrory promised that as governor he would issue an executive order allowing “safe, technologically sound” drilling for oil and natural gas off the North Carolina coast.
“Our nation is in a crisis, an energy crisis that is impacting families throughout North Carolina,” McCrory told reporters at North Carolina Republican Party headquarters. “I believe governors must play a role in dealing with this energy crisis.”

I had been contemplating voting for McCrory until i read this.
Offshore drilling will do nothing towards lowering fuel prices. The whole issue is just a massive distraction from what the energy companies should really be doing: 1) increasing refining capacity and 2) developing a viable alternative "safe, technilogically sound" source of renewable energy.
Who's the libertarian candidate again???
