The Obama administration is reportedly poised to withdraw its plan to allow oil and gas drilling off the coast of the southeastern United States following mass opposition from coastal communities. The New York Times reports the announcement could come as soon as today. Obama’s initial plan to open swaths of the southeastern Atlantic coast to oil drilling was backed by governors and lawmakers in southeastern states, but opposed by more than 100 coastal communities and environmentalists.
