The Obama administration is reversing its decision to push for oil and gas exploration off Florida's coastline, recalibrating its offshore drilling strategy in the wake of last spring's devastating oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.http://www.miamiherald.com/2010/12/01/1953027/floridas-coast-to-be-closed-to.html
Under the new policy, announced Wednesday by Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, Florida's Atlantic coastline and the eastern Gulf of Mexico will remain closed to drilling at least through 2017. Instead, the agency will focus on areas already leased for drilling, including 43 million acres in the western and central Gulf.
Actually, the Obama administration is reversing its reversal of its decision regarding oil and gas exploration off Florida's coastline. They were against it before they were for it and now they're against it again, all in less than 2 years.
That's no way to run an industry, an economy or a country.
