UPDATE: AMAZING! ~~ DEMOCRATS BLOCK REPUBLICAN DRILL PLAN!! FOX News reported: gatewaypundit.blogspot.com A House subcommittee on Wednesday rejected a Republican-led effort to open up more U.S. coastal waters to oil exploration. Rep. John Peterson, R-Pa., spearheaded the effort. His proposal would open up U.S. waters between 50 and 200 miles off shore for drilling. The first 50 miles off shore would be left alone. But the plan failed Wednesday on a 9-6, party-line vote in a House appropriations subcommittee, which was considering the proposal as part of an Interior Department spending package. With record oil prices and gas prices projected to hover around the $4 mark for the rest of the summer, Republicans have ratcheted up their efforts to open up oil exploration along U.S. coastline. But the long-sought change has so far been unsuccessful. Thank you Democrats! Let's hope that plan to SUE OPEC works out! Hat Tip Dave White It doesn't seem to bother Democrats that China is drilling within 50 miles of the US coast but American companies are not allowed to. Cassandra has more.
