20 Dec Did we lose the fight?

Though believed we had won the fight for a permanent ban on seismic testing and offshore drilling, this may not be the case.

We succeeded in removing the Atlantic Coast from the five year plan, but it appears hard press by industry lobbyists and the incoming administration may have gotten in the way of  a permanent ban and could even reverse the decision on the five year plan.  This does not mean we give up, it means we have to fight even harder when the time comes.

Offshore drilling opponents staggered just when they thought they had won
