Energy Bill Hits Coast Hard
- "America's coastal waters, our fisheries, and our ocean wildlife would be unnecessarily sacrificed by this [Energy Bill] legislation," said Richard Charter, marine conservation advocate with Environmental Defense. "While the primary beneficiary of the taxpayer-funded offshore drilling incentives and tax breaks would be the oil industry, protection of our economically-important living marine resources must also receive equal attention in a balanced bill." - excerpt from a press release written by Richard Charter of Environmental Defense about the current Energy Bill in Congress.
