Research Abstract |
Before the disaster involving BP's Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, US President Barack Obama, who favors drilling, tried to open expanses of water along the Atlantic coastline, the eastern Gulf of Mexico, and the northern area of Alaska to oil and natural gas drilling. This plan to end a 20-year moratorium on new offshore drilling was temporarily abandoned due to the worst oil spill in US history. This study, focusing on the Exxon Valdes oil spill disaster in 1989 as the beginning of the moratorium on new offshore drilling enacted by President George H. W. Bush, examines oil-spill prevention and response plans under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 and investigates the role of citizen adversary councils and state and federal governments, focusing especially on the state of Alaska.
