Offshore Drilling

This is one thing that I must disagree with Obama on. While we are making no very large steps in the direction of greener energy sources, we are expanding the areas available to off shore drilling companies. One of the major things Obama campaigned on was the need to have a larger base of renewable energy and start moving away from environmentally-threatening fuel sources. It just seems like he is beginning to go backwards on his ideals about the environment. Not only does this prevent a motivation to create new sources of energy, but it subjects a much larger area to the possibility of an oil spill that could be devastating to the organisms that live there.
