Expanding Offshore Oil Drilling Would Be Counter-Productive

"Surfrider Foundation is opposed to any attempt to lift the federal moratorium on offshore oil drilling. Our nations oceans, waves and beaches are vital recreational, economic and ecological treasures that will be polluted by an increase in offshore oil drilling. Instead of advocating for transient and environmentally harmful ways to meet Americas oil needs, we should seek a comprehensive and environmentally sustainable energy plan that includes energy conservation. - quote from Surfrider Foundation's Environmental Director, Chad Nelsen; quote appeared in this Surfrider press release.
