He plans to expand domestic oil production by offering millions of acres, all while improving safety measures to prevent future spills. He will keep drilling, but only if safety precautions are taken and the land is properly developed. In developing land and safety precautions, Obama wants to create more jobs and be able to employ more people to do these tasks. Under the presidency, the country produced more oil than in the last 14 years, while also while also reaching better energy efficiency. If President Obama is re-elected, there will be many new jobs in drilling and clean energy companies because Obama plans to expand both. Obama believes that the country needs to conserve its dwindling natural resources, and will work to make sure the country has alternative energy to fall back on.
