Post Carbon - Obama administration reimposes offshore oil drilling ban: "Interior Secretary Ken Salazar announced Wednesday afternoon that the Obama administration will not allow offshore oil drilling in the eastern Gulf of Mexico or off the Atlantic and Pacific coasts as part of the next five-year drilling plan, reversing two key policy changes President Obama announced in late March.
'We are adjusting our strategy in areas where there are no active leases,' Salazar told reporters in a phone call, adding that the administration has decided 'not expand to new areas at this time' and instead 'focus and expand our critical resources on areas that are currently active' when it comes to oil and gas drilling."
