Comments on Bush Administration's Attempt to Weaken Coastal Zone Management Act (CZMA) to Allow for New Offshore Oil Drilling
- "The CZMA has been a critical tool in protecting our coastal environments and economies from oil and gas drilling and other ill-sighted development," said Dawn Hamilton, executive director of Coast Alliance. "This unnecessary proposal is yet one more behind-the-scenes give-away by the Bush Administration to the energy industry, and does nothing to improve the effectiveness of the CZMA. We don't need to sacrifice our treasured coastlines to meet America's energy needs. We don't need energy policy that bows to special interests and subsidizes the polluting oil industry. Instead, America needs an energy policy that reduces our dependence on oil by increasing fuel efficiency and investing in clean renewable energy." - excerpt from article at http://www.enn.com/direct/display-release-m.asp?objid=
