Obama is trying to gain political favor from Republicans here. I have environmental objections to the decision, but at the end of the day the best way to promote clean, stable energy is to make it more viable rather than to make other means less viable.
I'd still rather see the oil bans continue, even if it is environmentally safe its a good idea to hold on to that oil for when prices greatly increase, which will happen as demand increases and supply diminishes.
