How about YOU provide some background for the statement you made. Hint: I've already googled, found lots of dems and environmentalists (surpirse!) were against drilling off the Florida coast. I'm too bored with this game to copy/paste the pertinent sections and links - your turn.

Thursday, May 30, 2002 WASHINGTON – President Bush and his younger brother, Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, said Wednesday the federal government would buy back oil and gas drilling rights off the coast of Florida and in the Everglades for $235 million.
The negotiated agreement includes Destin Dome, a rich deposit of natural gas 25 miles south of Pensacola. Anti-energy activists hailed the announcement. "The actions we are taking today to preserve Florida's environment are truly unprecedented," said Gov. Bush. "Today, thanks to the president's support, we are reversing the momentum of nearly half a century in Florida and guaranteeing the preservation of our environment-based economy and quality of life."
