U.S. House Committee Approves Ending Drilling Moratorium in Offshore Waters
- A House committee on Wednesday [Oct. 26, 2005] approved a measure that would clear the way for oil and gas drilling in currently off-limits coastal waters and an Alaska wildlife refuge. Supporters of the legislation argued that ... it is time to end the 24-year federal ban that has blocked energy development along virtually all of the country's coastal waters outside the central and western Gulf of Mexico." The measure, part of a big budget package, will most likely be brought to the House floor for a vote soon. - excerpt from the article at http://www.enn.com/today.html?id=9116
