Some environmentalists slam Obama's plan, citing that it will be a danger to the ecosystem and to tourism. The Florida senator says the plan is better than others that have been proposed in the past. Obama's proposal would keep offshore drilling 125 miles from the Florida coast. Another environmentalist praises protection for sensitive areas on the West Coast. Basically, the environmentalists are angry that Obama has these plans set. You can see in the picture people have already been protesting his plans by standing on a beach next to the ocean, holding hands. This symbolizes a barrier that is trying to stop the government from drilling in the ocean.
I agree with Obama's oil drilling plans. It may endanger some of the ecosystem, but the president wouldn't allow anything that would hurt the majority of it. The people who are protesting need to realize that we live in a world that needs oil. The more oil we can drill ourselves will mean lower costs for the consumers. I would say that most of America can live with a little bit less beauty if it fattens their wallets a little more.
