Maurice to appear on FOX News at 12:05 p.m. 6/18

Posted by: Hinchey Press Office (June 18, 2008, 10:51 AM)

Maurice will be appearing live on Fox News television at 12:05 p.m. to criticize the plan by President Bush and Senator McCain to open up the Outer Continental Shelf for drilling. John Scott will be the host.

Maurice will highlight the fact that oil and gas companies are not producing oil or gas on 68 million acres of federal land already under their control. He'll note that those 68 million untouched acres could nearly double current domestic oil production and could produce more than six times the estimated potential peak production form ANWR.
