Concerns Remain About Offshore Oil Drilling

"The prospect of oil and gas rigs closer to shore raises at least three legitimate questions:

1. What is the potential threat to our environment, which has still not recovered from the BP oil spill? 2. What is the potential risk to our tourism industry, which has improved significantly, but has yet to fully recover from Katrina and BP? 3. What assurances are there that the revenue from such offshore activity will truly enhance education and the environment?" - excerpts from editorial at sunherald.com.
