Answer 1

yep, the very same ones.

Answer 2

It'll cost you even more than you're thinking.

Yes, the oil will go on the world market so you'll pay the normal price (do you get US oil any cheaper than other now) but also, companies internalise profits and externalise costs.   You will also be paying extra taxes to clean up the messes the oil companies WILL- not may - make of your coast.

GWB and the neo-cons have always legislated for self-interest rather than national interest.
