President Obama has recently expressed that he would like to drill for oil in the key atlantic and golf of mexico. Several environmentalists are very upset with this decision. The main thing that these people are worried about is oil spills. They feel that the environmental and economic risks should be better researched. They also feel that we should take our dependency off of oils and try to find other means of energy.
I think that these people should be protesting. To me it doesn't make sense why we would start drilling here. I think the only reason we should start drilling in the Unites States is if we absolutely have no other choice. Yes, i think it is important to not be so dependent on foreign oil but that doesn't mean that we should just start being dependent on our own oil. I really feel like we should be investing in trying to find an efficient energy source that is renewable and not so hazardest to the enviornment.
