To drill or not to drill? That is the big question as Americans face climbing gas prices. A group of research scientists employed by
the Mobil Oil Company conducted a study on the feasibility of drilling for oil off the coast of California. They researched the
impact of dil drilling on nearby ecosystems and investigated the likelihood of future oil spills. According to their data, coastal California would be an excellent location to drill for oil. After publishing the data in local newspapers, Mobil Oil sent out an opinion survey to area residents to check public opinion Amazingly, every survey came back with a "NO" vote for off-shore
drilling. The Public Relations firm for Mobil disputed the fairness of the survey, citing the fact that most Californians are in favor of reducing American dependency on foreign oil. Given the controversy over drilling for oil as well as transporting oil, what is a viable option for the future?
A) Move the drilling sites to more remote locations in and around the United
States

B) Reduction of fossil fuel use through the incorporation of more green power
sources

C) Drill anyway; disregarding the wishes of the people living in the surrounding areas

D) Reconsider the purchase and use of foreign oil in an effort to improve global relationships with the US
