The Center for Biological Diversity, one of the groups that successfully sued the Bush administration to stop expansion of offshore drilling, says it's concerned about the Gulf's health, but is focused on saving Alaska. "Decisions were already made decades ago about the Gulf, and it already has significant gas and oil infrastructure," says Bill Snape, senior counsel with the center.
