- Description
American President Barack Obama gives a press conference saying that ' if John Key can get away with mining in NZ's pristine national parks this should be a doddle...' He gestures towards an image on the wall behind him of a huge deep-sea drill which is accompanied by the text 'US to expand offshore oil and natural gas drilling'. Refers to the New Zealand government's decision to do test drilling for minerals in several national parks. Refers also to the news that US President Barack Obama has announced plans for a broad expansion of offshore oil and gas drilling in an effort to win Republican support for new proposals to fight climate change. The president, who needs bipartisan support to pass a bill that would set limits on US greenhouse gas emissions, cautioned that expanding drilling was not a catch-all answer to US energy challenges.
