Possible Offshore Oil Drilling in NC
 This is one story that we are going to keep our eyes on. Although there is a moratorium on offshore drilling in North Carolina through 2012, there is some discussion going on right now about drilling for oil and natural gas just 40 miles off the NC coast at Avon. Hurricanes already cause enough cause for concern without having to worry about the integrity of offshore oil platforms and pipelines. It could only take one spill to wipe out our unmatched fishing resources and beautiful beaches, and maybe we are biased, but our best natural resources are in the sea not under it. The full story from the New Bern Sun Journal is available here.
