Bob McCarty Writes

A friend of mine who works in the oil and gas industry sent me the following URGENT PLEA late this afternoon, asking me to pass along important information to my readers — that’s you! — so that you can take immediate action:

“You and your readers (could) have a direct impact on the drilling debate in Washington. Right now the Minerals Management Service (MMS) is collecting comments on its next five-year offshore leasing plan. The MMS –- the federal agency responsible for administering the offshore oil and natural gas program -– considers the size, timing, and location of the areas to be considered for federal leasing, and it bases its recommendations on the public’s comments. The plan is reviewed by Congress and approved by the Secretary of the Interior.

“MMS is accepting public comments on its 2010-2015 plan until next Monday, September 15^th. Apparently several anti-drilling groups have called on their members to flood MMS with comments. Therefore, the majority of comments oppose new leases. Considering that numerous national polls have shown Americans support increased drilling, their comments do not reflect the nation’s sentiments.

“Showing support for drilling via MMS can have an immediate impact on the next leasing plan and can send a message to lawmakers. If you’d like, you and your readers can comment by going to www.actnow.partnershipforenergy.com.”

In a second message, she added:

“We hear that several anti-drilling groups have sent tens of thousands of comments to the MMS. Each comment becomes part of the record and is used to gauge the public’s interest in opening new areas to exploration and drilling, so it could critically important to weigh in with a pro-drilling point-of-view.”
