With the backing of science, economics, clean energy leaders, local businesses, and the vast majority of Americans, the Obama administration permanently protected most of the Arctic Ocean and a chain of deep sea canyons in the Atlantic Ocean, stretching from the Chesapeake Bay to Canada's border, from
dangerous and destructive
offshore oil drilling.
But now it has come to light that the
oil industry is conducting
offshore fracking in the Gulf, which is even more
dangerous than conventional
oil drilling, according to the Center for Biological Diversity.
