A month after announcing plans to expand offshore drilling; the Prime Minister visited ground zero of the Gulf Coast oil disaster and warned that residents could be facing a "potentially unprecedented environmental disaster."
The citizens of the United States are worried that the oil spill will damage the environment and economy around the Gulf States for a long time to come.
Eric Green from the Environmental Protection Council (EPC) is concerned about the wildlife around the area, and proclaims, "BP is responsible for this mess, and they are going to clean it up well...or there will be a price to pay, the price of destroying our shared earth."
The Prime Minister has taken little action to solve the oil spill issue. He stated, "The government will be leaving the clean-up to BP, for it is their responsibility."
The Prime Minister still believes that the current method of offshore drilling is an "important part of the strategy for energy security, and is domestic.” The enthusiasm from administration officials that were once for the Prime Minister’s plan has subsided.
Eric Green from the EPC went on to say, "The Prime Minister is partly accountable for these actions for previously promoting the offshore drilling in his State of the Union address. Therefore, the government should be taking action to help preventing it from happening in the future, and cleaning up the mess."
Now we the people ask the Franklin States: Will we keep this method, or create a new and better plan that does not risk the environment and economy? Will the government help clean up the oil spill, or will they let BP handle it all?

The LAP is aware of the massive oil spill that has struck the Gulf Coast in recent days and we believe that other measures should be taken in order to obtain oil, other than drilling in the ocean and hurting our wildlife and oceans. But we also are aware that we cannot rely soly on one form of obtaining oil. Americans rely heavily on oil and the LAP is currently negotiating alternative forms of obtaining these fuels, that would lessen the use of ocean drilling, saving many ocean life animals and miles of ocean water.
The LAP is also aware that the oil spill the struck the Gulf coast was on behalf of BP and it is primarily their fault. We do feel that the government should assist and hep them with their efforts. BP was not trying to cause an oil spill, no one would have wished this type of tragedy, so we believe that government should step in and aid BP in cleaning up the mess and aid in whatever ways they can. We live in american, not where we just point the finger at one person and say do everything, we need to work as a joint country.
