Academy Award-winning Director James Cameron told that while he prefers wind power, he would accept offshore oil drilling as a political compromise, and added. That he does not think the cap-and-trade bill currently before Congress is the “right answer” to fully combat global warming. In an exclusive interview on Capitol Hill, CNSNews.com asked Cameron, “Are you a supporter of President Obama’s comprehensive offshore drilling plan?” Cameron said: “I need to know more about it. I’ve been on the move a lot in the last few weeks. I’m not completely against offshore drilling as long. As it’s out of sight, over the horizon, but I’d be much happier if it was offshore wind, you know?” “I mean, I think that the longer we cling to the doomed paradigm of fossil fuel, you know, the more we’re just postponing the inevitable and making things worse on ourselves,” said Cameron. “But, you know, the political exigencies are. That you have to trade something for something, and if some good can be done in the short term by trading against that, I would say that that’s a compromise that I would support. But the question is what does he [Obama] get for it?” |
