As it is, New ERA would require that all new production be used domestically. The legislation also supports expanded us of nuclear energy and would open more acreage in the Gulf of Mexico for leasing, while it allows Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia the option of leasing off shore.
And in the "As long as we get a good deal" department
My state Rep. Steve Davis would approve leasing off the State Capital to the highest bidder... right now a casino owner and a hotel developer have in the top bids...
okay not really. But he must be alright with it...
If Rep. Davis were so worried about gas prices he wouldn't have been so aggressive in working to block transportation plans that would have helped alleviate this problem.
State Rep. Steve Davis (R-McDonough) says he is a proponent of responsible leasing and drilling off Georgia's shore and would vote for it. "I believe that the state legislature, if the moratorium is lifted, would immediately back the off-shore drilling as well as nuclear expansion," Davis says. "The people are tired of high gas prices. I will support our Senators and our entire congressional delegation."
Also he must not have gotten the memo that we have NO CLUE how to get rid of nuclear waste. If you think parents get a bit huffy over lead in their kids toys wait till the 3 eyed fishes start swimming in the pond next to their kids schools... sigh...
