Obama cancels drilling lease off Virginia coast

This week President Obama canceled a lease for oil drilling off the Virginia coast. This drilling could endanger the coast of North Carolina. Currents could carry spilled oil from the Virginia coast to the Northern Outer Banks, at the point the Gulf Stream, which flows north along the Southeastern US coast, turns and heads out to sea.
