Gulf oil spill: Schwarzenegger no longer supports plan to expand drilling off California's coast
Gulf oil spill: Schwarzenegger no longer supports plan to expand drilling off California's coast

May 3, 2010 | 2:16 pm

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is withdrawing his support of a plan to expand oil drilling off the California coast, citing the environmental tragedy in the Gulf of Mexico.

Speaking during a news conference Monday, Schwarzenegger said television images of the oil spill in the Gulf have changed his mind about the safety of ocean-based oil platforms.

The Republican governor had proposed expanding oil drilling off the coast of Santa Barbara to help close the state's $20-billion budget deficit.

how glaring the evidence is.
