The Democratic party, especially (but with a few Republican allies) have consistently blocked this drilling/exploration.
Remembber a few years ago when Bush proposed we drill in Alaska? Quashed by the congress.
The environmental movement is one of the Democratic party's biggest "voting blocks" so they don't want to do anything to upset them.
If enough people get upset and contact their congress people, they might reverse course.
