Here’s the legislation to study it. And the citizens agree, apparently. As gas prices continue to rise, let’s see if this bill ever sees the light of day. -Max Borders
Would love to see this happen. It would be a step in the right direction. Sadly it would probably be 1 step forward, 100 steps backwards as our distinguished US Senate prepares to debate McCain-Lieberman.

On a related note, did you see this article about Sue Myrick’s proposed legislation? http://www.ibdeditorials.com/IBDArticles.aspx?id=296435488187160
Here’s the gist:
“Rep. Sue Myrick of the House Energy and Commerce panel wants to let coastal states decide whether drilling is environmentally risky. She has introduced a bill that would give coastal states that want offshore drilling the power to opt out of the Interior Department’s offshore restrictions.”
