ABC News: Oil and Water: Bush Says Dems to Blame for High Gas Prices
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
|
WASHINGTON (CNN) President Bush asked Congress on Wednesday to permit drilling for oil in deep water off America's coasts to combat rising oil and gas prices. (article 10)
Congressional Democrats were quick to reject the push for lifting the drilling moratorium, saying oil companies already have under lease 68 million acres on federal lands and waters und outside the ban area und that are not being developed. (article 1)
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Gov. Charlie Crist has dropped his long-standing support for the federal government's ban on offshore oil drilling and endorsed Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting John McCain's proposal to let states decide. (article 21)
Democrats immediately pounced on McCain's proposal, saying countries that allow offshore drilling have even higher prices and that oil companies don't need more offshore drilling areas because they have failed to fully exploit their current leases. (article 21)
Bush said opening federal lands off the U.S. coast where oil drilling has been banned by both a presidential executive order and a congressional moratorium could yield about 18 billion barrels of oil. (article 8)
WASHINGTON For a quarter-century, drilling for oil and gas off nearly all the American coastline has been banned in part to protect tourism and to lessen the chances of beach-blackening spills. (article 4)
