"The federal government’s Energy Information Administration is projecting oil production from the Gulf will fall by 250,000 barrels per day each year over the next two years. To date, 102 drilling plans for the Gulf of Mexico are awaiting approval from the federal government. What are we waiting for?
All of this obstruction from Washington means we not only are paying higher gasoline prices, we also are missing out on much-needed state and local revenues. Moreover, blocking access to the barren northern plain in Alaska and other oil and gas reserves decreases our ability to fuel ourselves. And all the while, we become more vulnerable to others outside the United States while sending more of our money out of our country."
