Easy. We vote to protect the environment, nearly every time. And we have never had a governor with the last name of "Bush".
You either misinterpreted the question or ducked it. I meant if the oil companies can drill off the coast of Texas for 30 years and not ruin the coast with big oil spills, then what is different with Florida and California that makes you think they won't have the same spill-free results? Do you have anything to support your position other than paranoia?

BTW, we don't elect movie stars as governors or have rolling blackouts.
