With gas topping $4 a gallon, President Barack Obama on Saturday announced new plans to speed up domestic drilling for oil.
In his weekly address to the nation, the president outlined his plans for what he calls "safe and responsible" oil production.
The Obama administration will speed up the leasing process for the Alaska National Petroleum Reserve, give oil companies better financial incentives to use their leases and extend all drilling leases in the Gulf of Mexico so oil companies have more time to implement safety measures after the devastating BP oil spill.
He will also fast-forward the testing of areas off the east coast of the United States to see what oil resources are there and if it would be safe and commercially viable to drill.

The boiler rule is the latest in a series of EPA regulations the administration has scaled back or delayed amid criticism that jobs would be threatened.
