Polar bears, sea turtles, and yes, Stratton old pal, our timber wolves are now at safe harbor from oil drilling at last. I'm not saying Romney's a bad person, because I'm sure he isn't, but his plan to "expand" our nation's energy independence was a death sentence to many species of North American wildlife.
Granted, energy independence is a pressing problem. But Obama's approach to this is environmentally cleaner, even though slightly less efficient. He hopes to expand our renewable energy resources. In many ways, this is better: we don't have to get sunlight and wind from some power plant halfway across the world, do we? Some people just can't grasp the fact that oil isn't the only energy resource out there, and besides, crude oil has caused major environmental chaos recently (just look where the Gulf of Mexico got us. I, for one, don't want that to happen again) around the globe. So in other words, this is good news for my family, and for the wonderful North american wildlife as well.
