Florida oil drilling: Florida residents rally against offshore oil drilling - South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com


They looked like dark spots of tar freshly washed upon the shore.

The black sweaters and jackets they wore on the chilly Saturday afternoon symbolized what could happen to South Florida beaches in the event of an oil spill caused by offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico.

"The Gulf Stream would bring it here in 24 hours," said Ed Stroble, a self-proclaimed "green Republican" who attended the event. "There are alternatives to this."
More than 60 people showed up at Fort Lauderdale's beach to hold hands in opposition to drilling for oil off the Florida coastline. Called Hands Across the Sand, the protest is aimed at raising awareness about legislation brewing in Washington and Tallahassee that could open the Florida waters to drilling. Oil companies could drill as close as three to 10 miles from the beach.
