Exploratory Offshore Drilling a Bad Idea
- "Domenici and Tauzin have also included language authorizing an inventory of coastal gas and oil reserves, even though the provision was not contained in either the House or Senate version of the bill. If passed, the inventory would include "exploratory drilling" that would negatively affect wildlife in the oceans and seas surrounding the United States. Simply by listing the oil and gas believed to lie under coastal waters, the legislation would increase the pressure to allow new drilling to take place." - excerpt from DENlines email newsletter from 10/2/03 from the Defenders of Wildlife organization about current Congressional deliberations concerning the upcoming Energy Bill.
