President Bush recently lifted the ban on drilling for oil in the Outer Continental Shelf. Now Congress is feeling the pressure to lift its own longstanding ban on offshore drilling and to press for more drilling in America's Arctic. This would be a huge mistake! Even the U.S. Department of Energy says that offshore drilling would likely save only pennies a gallon. In the meantime, drilling would cause massive environmental damage and put coastal habitats at risk of yet another oil spill.
