Read the below linked article from the Institute for Energy Research. The Pelosi "compromise" drilling bill is a sham and a scam. It allows drilling only where there is little oil. It institutes a permanent ban on drilling on the OCS out to 50 miles replacing the current annually renewable moratorium. It continues the ban in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. It lifts the ban beyond 100 miles. States may opt-in to drilling between 50-100 miles by enacting state law.
This bill is a pig with no lipstick and must be denounced as such. GOP Congressmen and Senators must allow the moratorium expire at the end of the month.
