The Obama (yes, YOUR President) Administration recently allowed for oil drilling and exploration on the Eastern Atlantic seaboard. You can see the drilling platforms from St. Augustine Beach.

The increased drilling in the US under leases by the Obama Administration have led to more domestic oil and gas and much less dependence on foreign countries.

A strong US Dollar has also contributed to the lower prices, too.
